Objective
iCamp has the vision to become THE Educational Web for higher education in the enlarged Europe of 25+. It will provide an infrastructure - the iCamp Space - for collaboration and social networking across systems, countries and disciplines. The iCamp Space will build on existing interfaces and integrate shared community features. Interoperability amongst different open source learning systems and tools is the key to successful sustainability of iCamp.
The content for this collaboration within social communities is provided via distributed networked repositories including content brokerage platforms, online libraries, learning object databases, etc. Here, the Simple Query Interface (SQI), a quasi-standard developed in previous projects will serve as the basis for further development and improvements with regard to system interoperability.
The driving principle behind the technical challenges are the innovative pedagogical models of iCamp. By supporting constructivist learning theories the role of the educator changes. iCamp creates an environment for a new way of social instruction that puts more emphasis on self-organised learning and social networking. The flexible pedagogical models will be validated during the trials. iCamp aims to perform 2 small-scale and 1 large-scale trial involving students form the consortium partners for 3 different topics: basic research methods, international relations and management of international projects.
iCamp will strengthen the educational infrastructure in Europe and offer a sustainable solution. Since iCamp is not creating an additional eLearning system, but facilitates interoperability, a main advantage is that universities can continue to use and further develop their systems, while at the same time connect to other systems and offer a wide collaboration space for their users. The up-take will thus be much easier. iCamp will provide guidelines as well as a software toolkit to ease integration into the iCamp Space.
