Eqnet Workshop Eminent271109
The document discusses sharing learning resources across contexts. It outlines a workshop on discovering "travel well" content. "Travel well" resources are those that can be reused by teachers in different countries. The workshop will cover what makes resources travel well and how they can be easily found and shared. Social tagging is presented as a way to help discover resources across language boundaries by creating links between similar content and users in different countries. The future vision is that novel discovery methods relying on social tagging could lead to better recommender systems and cross-language search of learning resources.

EUN + «Travelwell» learning resources • Beginning: Where did it all got started? • Then: Some content can really be reused by teachers from different countries – ... but what makes them travel well, and – how can they be found and shared easily? • Future: Can social help? www.europeanschoolnet.org
- 4. Where did itall get started? • Sharing and reuse of digital learning resources are the drivers of a “learning object economy” -> Sharing learning resources metadata to improve reuse • Economy of scale: “if we all share the content, production costs per unit go down” • Did anyone ask: “Do teachers think learning resources from a country other than their own are useful for education? www.europeanschoolnet.org
- 5. Then.... • We hadgained understanding that some content is more useful than other.. • e.g. science, cross-curriculum topics, language learning • BUT what makes them “Travel well”? – well searchable multilingual metadata, size, type, topic?? www.europeanschoolnet.org
