Dissemination+(WP2)

=Integration and dissemination (WP2)=

WP2 is the hub of the project. Every six months there are workshops at which the ongoing work in the three networks (policy, practice and inspection) is integrated and disseminated. In between, partners work in WPs 4-6 on separate but related tasks. In WP2 work takes place on communication and dissemination and on producing an integrated framework for new schooling environments and associated roadmaps and studies.

All partners/networks undertake a critical analysis of the P2P methodologies and results within the wider scope of P2V, leading to a refined and adapted methodology for P2V. Partners carry out a critical analysis of peer learning and in particular the P2P results (school self-presentation and reviewing approaches, policy reviewing analytical methodology and a common framework for assessing ICT in schools) and further refine and apply the analytical model, tools and methodology with network members (schools, ministries and inspectorates), extending the methodology to valorisation. Inspection partners will contribute to a shared P2V methodology: identifying strengths and weaknesses, cross fertilisation and build an advanced methodology where target groups and their roles are identified and translated into sometimes separate and sometimes shared activities. This new methodology could be tested to compare what countries are doing with the Lisbon strategy and the five European benchmarks (lifelong learning, early school leavers etc.). In parallel, all the eLearning Initiative and Programme project achievements and other key studies (as in the Compendium and other sources) will be analysed and mapped onto the evolving common analytical framework.

Dissemination and impact are a key part of the project, through online communication channels of partners and peer to peer visits and practice observation. A particular effort will be made to break out of the ‘inner circle’ of ICT converts and reach a wider audience, e.g. through synergy with eTwinning and Comenius activities, translation of key outputs into languages other than English (subject to budget), and ensuring outputs are of lasting and sustainable value to these audiences and easily accessible and usable. The approach should place less emphasis on ICT and more on its consequences and impact. The networks involved in the project are the key to reaching a wider community with the results and experiences gained in the P2P project and its further development in P2V. The mechanisms developed by European Schoolnet and SICI to reach out with the results of their works to the stakeholders in e-learning and ICT in education will be fully utilised by the project. ENIS schools will play a leading role in dissemination to peers nationally and internationally through sharing good practice and supplementing traditional dissemination methods with new more attention-grabbing approaches like podcasts, short videos, RSS etc.

EUN and partners will produce country profiles and analytical papers for use by schools, policy-makers and inspectors in participating countries for WP4, 5 and 6. European Schoolnet will provide targeted key information, documents and news to the networks, e.g. issues and trend papers, targeted inputs of relevant information and studies, analytical papers, survey results and contributions to social networks like mailing lists, RSS feeds, wikis, podcasts, blogs, online activities and workshops.

The emphasis is on developing peer learning as a way of spreading innovation and supporting change in school systems. European Schoolnet will also ensure that the results of the P2P project and P2V as well as the valorisation outcomes are disseminated to the schools participating in the eTwinning action, for which European Schoolnet provides the central support service (CSS). It will do so by ensuring the eTwinning teacher development workshops benefit from the outcomes and results achieved in P2V.

Results and outputs will be presented in five reports, covering the three topics and peer learning. Printed publications will be distributed (and some translated) by partners and will include the analysis papers and case studies. We will develop a more succinct way of making information available by building on the "multiple perspective" idea, having a short contribution from each perspective made by the participants with the help of an "editor". This would mean that the "report" more accurately reflects the peer learning process than in P2P, for example. Each contribution should cover what has been seen and, above all, what has been learnt (by that person or group of players).

There will be at least four workshops and a dissemination conference for policy-makers, practitioners, head teachers, including sessions at the annual EUN Schools Networking conference and EMINENT / Round Table conferences in autumn 2007 and 2008, and workshops for ministry officials meeting in EUN’s Policy and Innovation Committee. The workshops will be more about transfer and change than simple dissemination: Transfer will be achieved by the adoption of mechanisms identified as effective in the project by communities of policy makers and practitioners.
