New learning methods are being studied, as are new technologies that allow for testing the growing merger between education and learning in a context that sees more players involved.
With the dissemination of the Internet and social networks, learning methods are changing intensely. On the Internet, satellite TV and IPTV, there are multiple thematic sites and channels that delve into subjects that range from music and art to technology, physics and mathematics. In addition to immediate access to a world of information, virtual experimentation will be affirmed thanks to the possibility of simulating complex phenomena, travel to places far away in space and time, situations that evolve dynamically.
There is an ample number of initiatives and experiments on the international level that can be given as examples of recent changes underway in this field.
The project departs from the experience of e-learning to stimulate the coming together of an education eco-system, an open eco-system that sees the potential involvement and contribution of:
- publishing houses, teachers, experts, students, for educational matters;
- TLC network providers, producers of HW and SW, systems analysts for technologies;
- translators, graphic designers, editors, for support.
The project intends to answer numerous questions.
How can an innovative, personalised, inter-active and inter-disciplinary learning model be affirmed? What are the technologies, contents and multimedia supports of an innovative platform of on-line services? What are the roles that can contribute to this eco-system? And what business opportunities are there for telecommunications carriers?
