Creativity and collaboration on the Net
KA1 Erasmus +
PROJECT
PROPOSAL
Context
Nowadays, the Internet is used mainly for work and leisure time, to surf, read, buy, etc.
We want to focus here in the tools that could be used for sharing, communicating and
collaborating. Each tool is suitable for specific goals and can be applied in different scenarios, needs and targets. In a teaching institution, it is important to know the possibilities
but also the potentialities available and how those can be used to get a greater impact
on education.
We base our course on the European Policies of digital inclusion, active citizenship and
active ageing.
Approach
We will show, explain, propose and discuss about internet tools and services to communicate and share information, that can be used with learning purposes for different
targets: seniors, virtual learning, support networks, building communities, etc.
ABOUT
These tools include wikis, blogs, cloud services, virtual networks, etc. but we will not
learn how to use them in detail but see them from a user perspective (how they can be
useful, potentialities, capacities, difficulties…)
CIDET
Who is it aimed at?
