All of these questions point to a certain lack of shared practices among | All of these questions point to a certain lack of shared practices among education-oriented institutions when it comes to taking full benefit from significant learning contexts and exploring the possibilities offered by networked tools and web-inspired open methodologies. Addressing this gap requires a well defined strategy and map of alliances, as well as a practical/open toolkit of learning activities (which could be used at any time by anyone) and a rigorous process of observation and independent evaluation (in order to improve design and effectiveness). | ||
A modest, initial | A modest, initial prototype for such a strategic toolkit was created and tested during the last November OpenRaval meeting, which took place right after the 1st Drumbeat Festival in Barcelona. We consider this an important starting point for the development of a series of shared practices with similar goals. Although not everything went on as planned, and some of the proposed activities were merely short demos or design prototypes, the kind of people and ideas that gathered during this meeting opened up an unique scenario for us to explore tangible possibilities in this area. | ||
