1. The LeNS project aims to create an open learning platform to promote sustainability education. 2. It involves 7 design schools in Europe and Asia and will produce open educational resources on design for sustainability focused on product-service systems. 3. The main output is an Open Learning E-Package containing learning materials that can be freely accessed and modified by teachers worldwide.

3. LeNS is a 3 years project (Dec/2007 - Dec/2010) funded by the European Commission (Asia Link Programme, EuropAid), involving 7 design schools in Europe and Asia

6. LeSN areas on concern of DxS focused on PSS

7. a platform allowing interested teachers to download open source and copyleft learning resources (slideshows, texts, audio-videos, etc.) that could be modified/remixed and reused , i.e. adapted according to each teacher specific didactic needs, institutional requirements and local context particularities MAIN OUTPUT: Open Learning E-Package on DfS

8. MAIN ACTIVITY: 8 transcultural learning pilot courses: . a EU teacher is guest by an Asian teacher (+ vice versa) and they are observed by a third teacher . Asian students design for EU context and are criticised by EU teacher (+ vice versa) . All lectures are recorded: videos, slides, ... are uploaded (OLEP)

9. THE LOGICAL FRAMEWORK: A TRANSCULTURAL LEARNING PROCESS

10. OLEP, Open Learning E-Package a quick tour to main functionalities 1. downloading/viewing learning resources by teacher/course/year 2. downloading/viewing learning resources by content/type 3. uploading a course (learning resources collection)

11. STORYBOARD 1 downloadiew learning resources by teacher/course/year e.g. a STUDENT wants to VIEW learning resources related to the course she/he is attending e.g. a TEACHER wants to set-up/up-date a course on DfS and wants to search for appropriate learning resources to DOWNLOAD, and modify/remix and reuse in her/his course

12. 1. a student/teacher wants to have access to the didactic materials (learning resources) of available courses / teachers a) the student/teacher clicks on “Learning resources” …

13. 2. the student/teacher wants have access to all learning resources of a particular teacher/course/year c) … click on the desired teacher/course/ year to access the related learning resources collection … a) …and selects the “teacher” section … b) …selects a desired language/s filtering the available learning resources…

14. 3. the student/teacher can view and download learning resources by title and by format type d) … FINALLY THE TEACHER CAN MODIFY/REMIX AND THEN REUSE IN HER/HIS COURSE c) …and click on download … a) she/he can view the learning resources … b) …select learning resources she/he want to download…

15. STORYBOARD 2 downloadiew learning resources by content / type e.g. a STUDENT wants to VIEW a learning resource related to a specific topic even related to other courses she/he is not attending e.g. a TEACHER wants to add a content to her/his own course on DfS, and wants to DOWNLOAD specific learning resources, and then modify/remix and then reuse in her/his course

16. 1. the student/teacher wants to access all learning resources, with a desired content e) … once selected the learning resources it is possible go to view/download … c) …then search with cross filtering by content, years, formats, license, authors, and resource title … a) she/he clicks on “search by content / type”… b) …selects a desired language/s filtering available learning resources...

17. section under construction 2. the student/teacher views and downloads resources with desired learning content d) … FINALLY THE TEACHER CAN MODIFY/REMIX AND THEN REUSE IN HER/HIS COURSE c) …and click to download the selected learning resources a) she/he can view a learning resource… b) …select the learning resources she/he wants to download

18. STORYBOARD 3 uploading a course (learning resources collection) e.g. a TEACHER wishes to upload her/his own course, a learning resource collection

19. 1. A teacher wants to upload his own course a) she/he clicks on upload/modify b) …clicks on “Upload a new course” ... e) …and click on “Go to upload/modify”

20. 2. the teacher starts the setting-up of the course structure d) … FINALLY THE TEACHER CAN BROWSE FOR UP-LOQDING c) ... may inserts a “learning subject” the learning resource belong to a) …inserts the “learning resource title” of the didactic material she/he wants to upload ... b) …inserts the set of “contents” dealt in the learning resource d) … clicks on “Upload”

22. LENS WEB-SITE: A “REPLICABLE” OPEN SOURCE AND COPYLEFT PLATFORM

26. FIRST AGREED/SCHEDULED REGENERATION BRASIL LeNS Brasil will be launched the 10 th of November 2009 in Sao Paolo AFRICA LeNS Africa will be launched the 9 th of September 2009 in Cape Town

27. go to www.lens.polimi.it and register to join the network 1. if DfS on PSS IS your focus: join and become a member of the network (free), download open learning resources and tools on SPSS; you will receive the lens news letters 2. if DfS on PSS IS NOT your focus or if it is but you want to set up a LOCAL network, download the LeNS site and adapt it to be a support platform for your own issue/local related networking activities, produce your own learning resources and make them publicly available in open source and copyleft
