Reflection and exchange process

Scenario-based method

27 February 2006 Athens meeting

Through the organisation of a dedicated workshop at the early stages of the project, a reflection and exchange process will be initiated among project partners working on pedagogical design and invited experts, who will continue to communicate electronically towards carrying out an analysis and study of the pedagogical specifications for the COLLAGE service, including a series of specific mobile learning scenarios and the corresponding lesson plans.

27 February 2006 Athens meeting

Participants will continue to communicate electronically after the workshop towards carrying out an analysis and study of the pedagogical specifications for the COLLAGE application, including a series of specific mobile learning scenarios and the corresponding lesson plans. The learning activities will be designed on the basis of a learning-game approach, which is extremely motivating for secondary school students’ learning

27 February 2006 Athens meeting

Reflection and exchange process

1. Discuss learning scenarios (round tables)– Pedagogical and technological considerations– Plan for implementation– Plan for evaluation

2. Existing applications, state-of-the art– Pedagogical considerations (morning workshop) – Technological considerations (afternoon workshop)

3. Impact of state-of-the art on COLLAGE project– Technological impact– Pedagogical impact

4. …and after the meeting what? How?

27 February 2006 Athens meeting

Round tables

Partners are arranged in four groups according to their collaboration in the project;

they will discuss and plan the common issues of their work;

The outcome of the group discussion will be presented in the panel that follows;

27 February 2006 Athens meeting

Round tables: the aim

Share common understanding of the COLLAGE objectives and goals

Work with learning scenarios in order to understand how each partner’s work fits into the overall picture

Get to know each other’s competences and background

Learning scenarios

History Learning (monument visit) Museum visit Career Guide Emergency crisis management A news portal

27 February 2006 Athens meeting

History Education: a visit to Acropolis•students get information (drawings, historical events, etc) about the monument •the history teacher has uploaded information to the database earlier •students capture moments of their visit with the camera of the device •students upload photos for future reference.

Learning everywhere

27 February 2006 Athens meeting

Students visit the Benaki museum:•they take pictures and notes •they participate in several games, e.g. treasure hunting•they communicate with the class mates who did not attend the visit.

Learning scenarios

Presented with a common structure Context Goal Action

27 February 2006 Athens meeting

Which scenario?

Criteria for choosing a scenario– Pedagogical and technological consideration– Game and fun

Innovative Appropriate for target group Feasibility Cost and sustainability

27 February 2006 Athens meeting

Why this scenario?

Students learn to gather data from all over around them and interpret it as information useful for learning, either on their own, or, most importantly, through face-to-face and virtual collaboration with their peers.

Students, together with and supported by their teachers, learn how to acquire, create, use and re-use e-learning content

Learners and teachers, can co-create and manage rich e-learning content effectively, efficiently, and innovatively.

Learners and teachers are given the opportunity to do things differently than they would do within the classroom
