  3. Share.TEC – the project… • Sharing Digital Resources in the Teacher Education Community • eContentplus programme • June 2008 - May 2011 • Consortium: • Istituto per le Tecnologie Didattiche, CNR (IT) (Coordinator) • Trinity College Dublin (IE) • Università Ca' Foscari, Venezia (IT) • Stockholm University (SE) • Open University of the Netherlands (NL) • Universidad de Valladolid (ES) • Sofia University (BG) • CLUEB Editore (IT) universities, research inst., schools of education ed. technology developers educational publisher eContentplus

  4. How we see the Teacher Education (TE) field • Inital Teacher Education (ITE) - pre-service teacher training • higher education courses leading to formal accrediation • Continuing Professional Development (CPD) - in-service teacher training • organised training initiatives & individual self-guided learning

  5. Inital Teacher Education (ITE) Cont. Prof. Development (CPD) Teacher Educators Teacher Educators & trainers practitioners practitioners Practising teachers Student teachers learners learners

  6. End users: Share.TEC’s primary targets

  7. Share.TEC stakeholders & secondary users • Educational repositories • TE institutions • Associations and communities of teacher educators & teachers • Education ministries • Publishers and publisher associations • Content providers

  8. Share.TEC’s mission Support innovation in the Teacher Education field by facilitating: • access to digital resources • sharing of reuse experiences • development of TE expertise across national boundaries

  9. In Europe we have this…

  10. … and we want to have this!

  11. What does Share.TEC do?

  12. What does Share.TEC do? • Provides unified access to TE resources from established repositories and individual users (federated aggregation of metadata) • Offers specialized search functions and personalized, adaptive user tools • Supports TE communities based on sharing of resources and experiences

  13. 1. Unified access to… 1.1 - What resources? 1.2 - What metadata? 1.3 - How are these collected?

  14. 1.1 - What resources?

  15. 1.1 - What resources? • addressing actors in the TE world (not K-12 students directly ) • comprising lessons plans, teaching modules, best practices, reference material, etc. • coming from sources across Europe • comprising “open” and commercial approaches

  16. 1.2 - What metadata? Common Metadata Model (CMM) - a TE-specific LOM-based application profile Sections 9 and 10 – TEO(Teacher Education Ontology) TE specific, culturally dependent elements & vocabularies pedagogically–oriented metadata • Sections 1 to 8 - LOM • interoperability in metadata migration from/to repositories • standards-based metadata

  17. 1.2 - What metadata? addressing linguistic and cultural issues (based on an ontological approach) Teacher Education Ontology

  18. 1.3 - How are these collected? • harvested from repositories via OAI-PMH & through the Metadata Migration Facility (MMF) • created by users with help from the Resource Integration Companion Kit (RICK)

  19. 2. specialized search and tools… • multilingual interface • queries with familiar TE terms • simple & advanced query filtering • personalization functions, e.g. preset search values, ranking/sorting of search results, recommender, etc. • semantically-supported search

  20. 3. sharing resources and experiences… • ratings • tagging • social networking capabilities (groups, etc.) • annotation about resource use in specific TE contexts (profile-related)

  21. What point is Share.TEC at? • Validation of first prototype • Development of pilot system • Ongoing generation and aggregation of consortium partners’ metadata Ongoing issues • Sustainability, IPR, user involvement

  22. prototype

  23. Where is Share.TEC in the EdRe landscape?

  24. EdReNe SoA – some keyword counts EDReNE SoA Report: For almost 100% of EDRENE members, teachers are the primary target

  25. SoA – repositoires with a stated teacher training or teacher education dimension

  26. Engaging users….in Share.TEC • focus groups - 2009-2010 • training sessions (teacher educators, teachers) - summer 2010 • user-stakeholder events - 2009-2010 • personalised services

  27. Engaging producers ….in Share.TEC • Addressing producer needs/concerns (inside & outside the consortium) • Events & workshops • 1st Workshop: Representing Teacher Education with Ontologies: Towards a Multicultural Dimension, Jan. 09, Venice IT • 2nd workshop: Sharing Teacher Education Resources in Europe: Capturing Users’ Perspectives, July 09, Dublin IE • 3rd workshop: Heerlen, NL, April 2010 • Project exhibition: Online Educa, Berlin Dec. 2010 • Memoranda of understanding with established initiatives (national & EC projects, content providers) • System tools and functionalities (MMF)

  28. Engaging users … some thoughts on identifying with the service “It is hard to underestimate the importance of (the editing issue) as a means of satisfying authors.While there is an editing phase, it is "their" repository. Without an editing phase it is "my" repository. It provides a service for me: I put things there so that I can find them later. I care much more about what is in the repository, because I have responsibility. I could go on to use words like "empowerment“… The feeling of difference is enormous: instead of it being something that is an extra imposition that costs me time, it is much clearer it is a useful service that … becomes part of my working structure…” Hugh Glaser, University of Southampton, JISC-REPOSITORIES mailing list (UK)
