This project plan outlines the stages and timeline for an international education project from October 2010 to February 2011. It includes the implementation of online courses from October to December for students to learn tools and interact around a common theme. In January 2011, evaluations of the courses will be available online and Finland will create a questionnaire. From March to October, best practices will emerge through discussions on the main blog. A schedule is outlined for student blogging and commenting from their countries. In-person meetings will take place in Italy in February and Spain in May to discuss emerging good practices and topics.
