The first FP7 projects in technology-enhanced learning

The projects presented on this page result from the first calls for proposals under the ICT programme in FP7: ICT Call 1, December 2006 - May 2007 and ICT Call 3, December 2007 - April 2008. 

New projects

The seven projects selected through ICT Call 3 have started in December 2008 and March 2009. They work is being carried out by 74 participating organisations. The total amount of EU-funding is € 27 201 000.

COSPATIAL – Communication and social participation: collaborative technologies for interaction and learning

COSPATIAL will create collaborative environments to enhance interaction and learning, addressing in particular the needs of children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders.

First FP7 projects

Five small or medium-scale focused research projects and one large-scale integrating project resulted from ICT Call 1. They are being carried out by 68 participating organisations. The total amount of EU-funding is € 24 337 600. Start dates for the work were between February and April 2008.

80Days - Around an Inspiring Virtual Learning World in Eighty Days

This project is concerned with theories, methodologies, and technologies for game-based learning. It will integrate models of adaptive personalised learning and adaptive interactive storytelling in gaming environments. One objective is to reduce production costs for digital educational games by developing solutions for making use of already existing learning resources.

GRAPPLE - Generic Responsive Adaptive Personalized Learning Environment

This project aims at delivering a technology-enhanced learning environment for life-long learning, able to automatically adapt to personal preferences, prior knowledge, skills and competences, learning goals and the personal or social context in which the learning takes place.

Fact sheet

idSPACE - Tooling of and Training for Collaborative, Distributed Product Innovation

The idSPACE platform will improve collaborative creative learning processes and innovation by providing teams with tools for articulating, communicating and processing new ideas in product design.

Fact sheet

LTfLL - Language Technologies for Lifelong Learning

This project will provide (semi-)automatic services for feedback that require no or very limited tutor-based support and are able to analyse interactions between students and textual output. A knowledge sharing infrastructure (combining domain ontologies and social tagging) will allow for comparing and exchanging of individual knowledge, leading to new common knowledge. The project will make extensive use of language technologies to situate the learners in their domain.

Fact sheet

MATURE - Continuous Social Learning in Knowledge Networks

MATURE conceives individual learning processes to be interlinked in a knowledge-maturing process. The goals of the project are to understand this maturing process better, and to build tools and services to reduce maturing barriers, and to embed learning more seamlessly in work processes and knowledge management systems.
