H2020 – ICT - 2015 outcomes

Overall Aim:

Promote modernization and excellence in education and training through pervasive access to digital learning and 21st century skills

Scenario:

• New interactions between formal and informal learning, changing role of teachers, social media, students attitudes, strong demand innovation

Obstacles:

• Silo-products, low interoperability, no cross-border adoption

ICT-22-2016: Technologies for Learning and Skills

Challenges

• Creation of an innovation ecosystem that facilitates open, more effective and efficient co-design, co-creation, and use of digital content, tools and services for personalised learning and teaching.

• And which allows co-creation and co-evolution of knowledge and partnerships to develop the appropriate components, services and leading learning technologies, which will empower teachers and learners and facilitate innovation in education and training

ICT-22-2016: Technologies for Learning and Skills

a. Innovation Action

• Develop and test open, interoperable components for a flexible, scalable and cost effective cloud-based digital learning infrastructure for primary and secondary education (K12)

• Personalised, collaborative or experimental learning and skills validation

Solutions should enable:

• Easy creation, mix and re-use of content, services, applications and contextual data for interactive learning processes;

• New learning experiences and experimentation;

• Innovative educational support services (e.g. learning analytics collecting,

storing, sharing learner data in a systematic, secure way)
