Project

Innovative Technology for Collaborative Learning and Knowledge Building (ITCOLE) project:

"ITCOLE project focuses on developing innovative pedagogical models, design principles and technology for collaborative knowledge building to be used in European education.

The models and technology will be tested and disseminated throughout the European education landscape free of charge in order to help in building a coherent and unified network of participants that supports sharing of expertise, content, practices and tools. The ultimate goal is to build a network spearheading the use of collaborative learning technology by utilising pedagogical best practices.

The project has started on the 1st of April 2001 and it will last until 30th of June 2003. The project is funded by The European Commission in the Information Society Technologies (IST) framework; IST-00-III.2 'School of Tomorrow'"
