The CREATIONS Communities Support Environment will provide tools for community building and support. It will aim to encourage the cooperation between teachers, students and researchers and to create an online experience that engages educators in sharing their best science teaching practices. The communication facilities of the CREATIONS online Communities Support Environment will become available already in M1 to support the online participatory engagement activities (T4.3) and the Visionary Workshops (M3-M8). The first full release will be on M4.

Validation Instruments and feedback tools

Implementation Plan

This deliverable will be the main outcome of the work that will be performed in the framework of task T5.1. It will include a concrete and detailed implementation plan, which will constitute the methodological and practical guide of action for the whole period of large scale pilot implementation and validation on the field. The plan will define a concrete set of activities on the field, and the corresponding mechanisms for monitoring and corrective action. Pilot activities will be designed to take place at schools but also at teacher training centers, universities and research centers.

Dissemination and Exploitation Plan

This deliverable will describe the relevant partners’ responsibilities, the dissemination activities and timetable, along with the dissemination potential of the expected results from the consortium partners. Mutual cooperation between the strategic partners will be arranged and potential strategic alliances will also be identified. The dissemination plan will include: the identification of the project audience and strategic objectives, the dissemination tools and channels, as well as a description and timetable of regular dissemination activities.

Guidelines and Support Materials

Guidelines and Supporting Materials for Teachers and Research Center Outreach groups: The project team will develop a series of guidelines and support materials for the Research Centers Outreach groups as well as for the teachers that will be involved in the validation process. The materials will be available in conventional and electronic format (through the project’s website).
