3/19 WP6 Meeting Schedule DurationDescriptionPresenter 8:45-9:10Introduction to WP6CERTH 9:10-9:55Comments/State by each partner on 1. Partners’ Expertise 2. Partners’ WP6 Tasks WP6 partners 9:55-10:00Conclusions of WP6 meeting CERTH

4/19 The need for a new generation of Learning Services Current Knowledge-based Society demands a new model for learning: –No longer tied to school and/or university context –More Integrated into work and other life contexts –Combining formal and informal learning activities New learning principles have brought: –fundamental changes in the way learning and teaching are conceived not addressed adequately in eLearning so far Current learning technologies: –Do not address sufficiently the requirements for Lifelong learning (common Competence Models, Assessment Models etc) [TenCompetence DoW pp.10]

5/19 The TenCompetence Approach Support –Individuals –groups –organizations In –Lifelong competence development By –Pedagogical Models –Organizational Processes –Technological infrastructure Using –Open-source, standards-based technology [TenCompetence DoW pp. 5, 10]
