Workshop for Communities of Practice, Lausanne
26 June 2007 - 26 June 2007
Austria
This workshop will precede the EIAH’2007 conference on ICT Environment for Human Learning.
PALETTE stands for “Pedagogically sustained Adaptive Learning through the Exploitation of Tacit and Explicit Knowledge”. The project aims to facilitate and increase individual and organisational learning in Communities of Practice, which are frequently interacting groups of people who share a concern, a set of problems, or a passion about a topic, and deepen their practical knowledge and expertise in that domain.
With a good balance between technological and pedagogical experts, the PALETTE participants are developing an interoperable and extensive set of innovative services to sustain concrete scenarios of use. All these tools are designed, developed, implemented and validated on a user-centric basis thanks to the communities currently involved in the project, representing 3 professional domains: teaching, management and engineering.
The services will be open source, standard-based to ensure full deployment and free access.
As stated by Christine Vanoirbeek from EPFL, Scientific Coordinator of PALETTE, “This ambitious project will help us to transform a dream into reality: allowing anyone to use technologies for learning without any specific knowledge of the technology jungle!”.
