Objective
PROACTe responds directly to the conclusion of the Commission's Industry Advisory Group on the Information Society on the future direction under FP5 that "dissemination should become a structured activity, consolidating the results of the projects, and disseminating them to a wide audience of professionals and decision makers in the field of education and training".
PROACTe will support, valorise and facilitate the dissemination and take-up activities of these projects and implement actions in support of consensus building between the projects. PROACTe is a web-based service that aims to facilitate access to information and provide a context for European research into technologies to support learning. PROACTe will gather information not only on the issues surrounding the up-take of technologies but also the impact of learning mechanisms on all areas of society.
OBJECTIVES
The aim of PROACTe is to provide a service for the projects supported under the education and training area of the IST programme. PROACTe will facilitate exchange of experience between projects involved in using technology to support learning, and assist them in awareness raising and disseminating information on their progress, achievements and results.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK
PROACTe?s activities and outputs will include the following: - Undertake ongoing assessment and evaluation activities in order to ensure that its products and services are continuing to meet the needs of its audience. An inception report will set out the targets and a final report will be delivered at the end of the project.
- Compile and maintain up-to-date, high quality information for the web site portal to provide a central communications resource and promote the work of the projects.
- Set up, design and maintain a WWW portal that will provide a central focus for the education and training technologies community. The site will also be used: for electronic publishing of key publications and deliverables, for providing information on educational technologies in Europe; to create communities and form clustering of projects. The aim is to become a central information resource on all aspects of educational technologies in Europe. The Web will be updated weekly and measures will be implemented to monitor the Web activity.
- Provide a communications service to the projects. This will facilitate exchange of experience between the projects and provide information for the general public. PROACTe will respond to the needs of the project with plans to undertake a wide range of promotional activities.
- Produce printable web-based information sheets on each project. These will be frequently updated.
- Research and write a final report reviewing education and training technologies in Europe.
