Introduction

• Buzzword E-Learning Is there a specific Book-Learning? Is there a specific Black Board Learning

• The long way to „transformed schools“and to E-Certification

“ICT and Schools:” - Emerging, Applying, integrating,transforming”

A logical development …

Introduction

Theory of innovation (Rogers, 1962)

• Innovation is …

„doing the old in new ways“ (Schumpeter)„a transformation of practice in a community”

“A transformation […] won’t happen unless the new practice generates more value to the members than the old” (P. Denning, 2004)

Special Austrian Initiatives I

Major E-Learning projects eLSA and eLCInitiative by the Austrian Ministry of Education

• Recent: FuturElearning-Programme

Peter Micheuz, Plymouth, April 2009 28

Short Version of the 8 Goals

• Full Coverage (pupils, teachers)• Communication among teachers• Evaluation and Cooperation • Strategy (School program)• Leadership • Controlling (steering group)• Offer of an ICT Certificate

Peter Micheuz, Plymouth, April 2009 29

Special Austrian Initiatives II

Edumoodle – Hype of a LMS in Austria• More than 1000 schools on a

centralized Open Source Platform• Backbone for many E-Learning

activities • “Moodle” as brand for E-

Learning?

EPICT (European Pedagical License) • Danish multilevel marketing• Amalgam of technological and

diactical aspects

Remark: Does the tail wa the dog?

• ICT – Integration, school culture and school development go hand in hand

• ICT-integration as a catalyst of school developement?

• or: A school and learning cultur is indespensible for efficient ICT-Integration?

8 eLSA / eLC Goals

1.Each student has to get in touch with e-Learning and has to try out “e-Learning sequences” in lower secondary education.

2.Each teacher has to experience e-learning sequences in his/her own subjects (in at least one subject) and has to share this experience with all members of the teaching teams involved in these subjects and the participating classes.

Peter Micheuz, Plymouth, April 2009 32

8 eLSA - Goals

3.Within their subject area, teachers have to discuss the potential and limits of e-Learning.

4.eLSA schools develop concrete models for evaluating “e-Learning” and cooperate and share their experiences with other schools.

5.The school program should explicitely contain (revised) e-Learning aspects.

Peter Micheuz, Plymouth, April 2009 33

8 eLSA - Goals

6.“e-Learning” must be an important concern of the school principalship. The project has high priority in the school routine.

7.There is a steering group which coordinates and harmonizes the “e-Learning” content developments, ensures their practical application and the progress of the project.

8.The school offers its students the possibility to obtain at least one IT or e-Learning certificate (on a voluntary basis).

Peter Micheuz, Plymouth, April 2009 34

One exemplary goal and its indicators

2.Each teacher has to experience e-learning sequences in his/her own subjects (in at least one subject) and has to share this experience with all members of the teaching teams involved in these subjects and the participating classes.

Peter Micheuz, Plymouth, April 2009 39

Indicators and positive evidence

At least 20% of the teachers are E-Learning experts. They are using ICT regularely in their lessons as an educational principle

Talks with the teachers about their activities who show exemplarily examples of their work.

The experts cover (almost) all subjects.

The expert group encompasses all subjects.

60% of the teachers are „watching“ E-Learning activities at the school and are using ICT occasionally and know the LMS at school

Documentation of the work, talk with the teachers

All the teachers have dealed with E-Learning severely and defined their role in the project.

Talks with the teachers, insight into the results of internal surveys

The compulsory requirement of the curriculum, to use digital media in the lessons has been taken seriously from all.

Insight into class registers

Peter Micheuz, Plymouth, April 2009 40

Indicators and positive evidence

In all subjects there are E-Learning-sequences/materials or documentations for using digital media available

Provision of materials or documentations

In all subject areas there are experts who inform all the other teachers about innovations and try to get them into the project (playing missionary)

Protocols of meetings and conferences

Teachers took part verifiably in in-service training in the field of E-Learning and didactics

Dokumentation in the annual report, certificates of participation

Teachers of the schools are verifiably interested in new developments and are ready to try out in their lessons.

Participation at in-service training, newsletters, reports from the lessons

The teachers are „computer literate“ and have basic competencies about digital media

ECDL certificate, advanced training courses, Online-Courses

Peter Micheuz, Plymouth, April 2009 41

Benefits for schools

• Public relation for the particular school

• Promotion for school development

• Certified schools could be reference schools for inservice-training and teacher training institutions

• Better financial support
