E-Hoop Partner

JKC will mobilize its network of in-service teachers, educators, psychologists, social pedagogues, managers of education etc. to serve 3 tasks: (1) Promote the "e-Hoop" philosophical concept (i.e., the innovative initiative to put educational needs related to learning differences as well as to cultural diversity and other differences under one umbrella) in the Baltic countries. Tools: press releases, booklets, web site, and media exposure; dissemination through workshops and conferences inviting all relevant stakeholders (i.e., representing the different groups). (2) A small number of educators who are experts in IT will be trained to develop and upload in our system approximately 10 rich learning objects to be used for validation. (3) Provide experts from its network who will participate in structured dialogues to identify obstacles in developing e-learning materials that can adapt to diverse learners, explore options and define the requirements for the development of the system. They will lead the Exploitation Work Package and will work closely with P6 on the development of its deliverables.
