Digital Education Content: success factors in decision making and use by teachers, trainers and school/institution leaders

Summary

European policy experimentations are transnational cooperation projects that involve developing, implementing and testing the relevance, effectiveness, potential impact and scalability of activities to address policy priorities in different countries.

By combining strategic leadership, methodological soundness, and a strong European dimension, they enable mutual learning and support evidence-based policy at European level.

Detailed Call Description

This topic invites project proposals that:

  • Promote and establish collaboration and agreement between teachers/educators, creators/providers of digital education content, and educational authorities on the necessary quality criteria for the selection, creation, adaptation, use and evaluation of DEC, using the European Commission Guidelines on “Making informed choices on digital education content” as a starting point.
  • Apply quality criteria on digital education content (based on “Making informed choices on digital education content – EU guidelines for teachers and educators”) in real contexts and verify their relevance or adapt them, if necessary, while also proposing the most effective methods for sharing experiences and lessons learnt with the wider community of stakeholders.
  • Provide capacity building to teachers and school leaders, in primary and secondary education, to confidently contribute to all stages of decision-making regarding DEC (i.e. selection, creation, access, use, adaptation, and evaluation), effectively involving them as early in the process as possible. Create connections between teachers and school leaders and their relevant educational authorities (whether in charge of curricula, budgets allocated to acquisition or creation, public procurement) and public/ private providers of digital educational content.
