Hi,
I met a former colleague in the bus to Chemnitz, and he is at least
knowledgeable about EU research programmes. Do people here have ideas
about possible institutions who could be made to participate? I think
the conditions are institutions from at least three EU countries, and
monetary participation of at least 25%. So we need some institution
with a reasonable interest of its own to get to some LilyPond-related
goals.
Objective ICT-2013.8.2 Technology-enhanced learning
Target Outcomes
Research under this objective targets tailored, scaled and tested R&D
for stimulating the take-up of learning technologies in different
learning contexts, reinforces the evidence-base of effectiveness of
learning technologies and encourages their innovative use.
a) ICT-enabled learning environments: joint pre-commercial procurement
(PCP) of innovative solutions for teaching national curricular topic(s)
in primary and/or secondary education, based on latest advances in
pedagogical, cognitive and other relevant scientific disciplines.
These solutions should:
• combine, and operate across different digital media and devices and
stretch the boundaries of place, time, type and styles of active
learning in the digital age;
• include rich and intuitive interfaces for teachers and students and
simulations and representations for teaching, learning and communicating
about the topic;
• adapt to different teaching practices and learning methods (e.g.
collaborative, inquiry-based and personalised learning and 1:1 tutoring)
and provide efficient support for the teacher in planning, monitoring,
assessment and in the management of classroom activities.
The participatory design of the systems should involve all key
stakeholders in the value chain, e.g. public authorities, researchers,
developers and end-users, through iterative processes and take into
account contextual variables that affect learning in particular contexts
(e.g. local, regional and/or national situations, learner and teacher
profiles, types and styles of learning). The proposed solutions should
aim for wide adoption at local, regional or national level and their
relevance and effectiveness for learning should be demonstrated by
appropriate evaluation methods and benchmarking.
PCPs shall be implemented according to the conditions outlined in
objective 11.1 and Appendix 6 and cover the full PCP life-cycle
encompassing solution design, prototyping, and original development of a
limited volume of products/services in the form of a validated test
series. They should seek to contribute to standards in digital
educational solutions.

Expected Impact
• Broaden use of ICT in education in at least one curricular topic
leading to wider take up by end-users;
• Effective public-private partnerships for providing digital learning
solutions in Europe;
• Stronger growth of the European ICT-enabled learning markets;
• More efficient use of ICT for learning through the exploitation of
learning analytics tools;
• More timely and effective acquisition of skills/competences through
learning technologies, in public administrations, indicated a.o. through
% of decrease in time to proven competency and in time to carry out the
tasks, and % of savings in study time;
• Increased awareness on the benefit of the adoption of learning
technologies.
