1. IST Programme project IST- 2001- 35188 CELEBRATE Context e-Learning with Broadband Technologies

2. Summary Celebrate is an IST project from the European Commission. It will outline the pedagogy for collaborative learning involving the creation and use of interoperable Learning Objects in a new generation of integrated managed learning environments, which will be made available via a Demonstration Portal to a select set of schools across Europe.

3. Consortium These are the 21 organizations participating in the Celebrate project. SME / EUN (SE) SUN Microsystems (BE) University of Turku (FI) University of Helsinki (FI) Universiteit Amsterdam (NL) The Open University (UK Pôle Univ. Nancy Metz (FR) Dudley MBC (UK) Hachette Multimedia (FR) USTL-TRIGONE (FR) MAKASH (IL) National Board of Education (FI) Digitabrain plcUK Educatio KHT - Sulinet(HU) KFU (NO) FUE-UNED (ES) NSLUNO ECSITE (BE) Giunti Multimedia (IT) Giunti Ilabs (IT) INDIRE (IT) SANOMA (FI)

4. Workplan 1 Celebrate is organized in eight interrelated work packages. WP1-3 – Hungary is not involved, but provides information to their work. WP1. User Requirements. A comprehensive user needs survey and design for an evaluation framework. WP2. Pedagogical Models for School Exploitation of Learning Objects. Descriptions of pedagogical models to support the exploitation of more flexible forms of content. WP3. Development of the Brokerage System. Examine standards, initiatives and tools concerning interoperability of LOs and Learning Community Objects and specify formats to allow interoperability.

5. Workplan 2 WP4. Creation of Learning Objects and Learning Object Components. Creation of a critical mass of LOs and LO components in up to five subjects. Hungary is going to develop learning objects science subjects Physics, Chemistry, Geography, Biology and Mathematics These learning Objects will be interactive, creative, editable by teachers and reproducible.

6. Workplan 3 Hungarian objectives to provide e-learning materials, to make teachers be able to produce those kind of materials themselves. How to provide these materials? With creative teachers and professional developers.

7. Workplan 4 WP5. Set Up and Operation of the Demonstrator Portal. Hungary is not involved Design, develop and make available a Demonstrator Portal located at an existing open European school portal to demonstrate: interoperability of LOs; development of European eLearning environment based on project pedagogical models; good use of a selected Leaning Content Management System; –interoperability with different LMS/LCMS; –good learning management through flexible user interface.

8. Workplan 5 WP6. Broadband Pilots and Validation – Hungary is involved with 20 schools. The aim is to establish at least five broadband test-beds providing access to 500 schools and provide validation report on project's tools, content and services. In WP6 Hungary has the opportunity to test and use all the materials produced by any partners in the project. It means that the participating schools can search and use a growing database of more thousands Los, can modify and recreate any of them

9. Workplan 6 WP7. Evaluation Provides an assessment of key aspects of broadband learning environments built around learning objects. WP8. Exploitation & Dissemination Develop business models for development, marketing and dissemination of free and open source LOs and LOs created for sale.

10. Objectives 1 1.Outline a pedagogy for collaborative learning –involving the creation and use of interoperable Learning Objects (LOs) –in a new generation of integrated managed learning environments. 2. Investigate how Learning Objects can be handled –by a new generation of virtual learning environments –from a variety of different vendors and –to test the interoperability of these systems in a real-life portal demonstrator.

11. Objectives 2 3. Investigate and demonstrate ways in which standards-compliant LOs can be platform independent and can be delivered and used by teachers and pupils on a wide range of devices. 4. Provide a Brokerage System that enables sharing of LOs and interoperability of learning community services.

12. Objectives 3 5. Provide schools with access to a large-scale demonstrator of an online content repository –that includes the ability to share a critical mass of Learning Objects and –that can be used to create LOs (thousands of items). –Further, to explore how a LO methodology can be applied to educational activities and services as well as learning materials.

13. Objectives 4 6.Act as a catalyst for the European eLearning content industry 7.Integrate high quality digital European knowledge sources from European science centres. 8.Examine the extent to which new Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) based on LOs enable teachers and pupils to engage in ‘open source’ content development. 9.Evaluate the extent to which new, more flexible forms of content development and distribution (based on reusable LOs) impact upon the learning process and support a new pedagogy for eLearning in schools based on constructivist learning models.

14. Objectives 4 10.Improve and validate broadband access to ICT-based learning content in or out of schools by building on existing broadband pilots and infrastructures supported by ministries of education in five countries. 11.Develop business models for content development, management and distribution involving LOs to include innovative pricing, royalty and licensing models. Build scenarios for the self-sustainability of the CELEBRATE demonstration portal including models based on new forms of Public Private Partnerships.
