ONLIFE is a Development ProjectONLIFE combines theintroduction of new, internet-based forms ofcommunication,cooperation andinteraction and change processes in pedagogical discourses.

The focus is on Special Educational Needs and Gifted & Talented teachers.


ONLIFE is building bridges• between padagogical domains – such as Special Educational Needs and Gifted & Talented

• between colleagues, staff and teams

• between schools and students

• between regional „support points“ for the Gifted & Talented and schools with LuBK (= special classes for the Gifted & Talented)

... for the successful integration of students with special educational needs into mainstream schools


ONLIFE is hands-on Knowledge Management

... i.e., a way to structure knowledge and communication with colleagues.
