E-Content development
With its second framework, the CDIP’s strategy aims at promoting production of digitalised pedagogical contents, ensuring their quality with reference to cantonal and regional curricula and enabling access via the Swiss Educational Server. The objectives are:
-
to encourage networking and collaboration by producers (production);
-
to give access to existing content via a benchmarking, description and evaluation system (access);
-
to compile and formalise pedagogical and didactic experience in each discipline, as well as examples of good practice;
-
to train teachers and lecturers;
-
to devise a policy for production and quality assurance for digitised learning content, while clarifying the distribution of roles among the actors concerned.
The Digital School Library
The Digital School Library Project, launched in 2006 by the Swiss Institute for Educational and Cultural Media (educa.ch) and mandated by the Swiss Conference of Cantonal Ministers of Education (EDK), is aimed at creating an interactive database bringing together educational resources in an interdisciplinary manner.
The project is part of the area of “electronic resources for teaching and learning” and has three themes:
-
The dissemination and exchange of information
-
Developing a framework for implementing electronic resources in teaching and learning
-
Establishing partnerships with content providers.
The opening of the Digital School Library will take place in autumn 2010.
