It is aimed at stimulating greater attention to ICT, by involving students, teachers and families in partnership with schools. The Dschola network consists of a selected group of primary and secondary schools, with proven technical and didactical excellence at regional level. Those schools disseminate their experiences and expertise towards all the schools in the region. It is part of an experimentation directed towards the creation of the Regional Network of Piedmont School. It was set up by the Italian Education Ministry, Local Public Administrations and Universities. It involves 2.828 educational structures and about 50.000 teachers. This three-year project (2000-2003) is financed by a Bank foundation that invested 21 millions of Euro. The experimentation for the Regional Network of Piedmont Schools is articulated on three main action lines, that are coordinated with each other, in order to stimulate school and citizens to take part and understand the changes caused by the development of the Information Society. CO-FINANCING OF ICT-BASED PROJECTS (a "Call for proposal" was published in 2001 and a second call is coming). LOW-COST CONNECTIVITY WITHIN THE PIEDMONT GOVERNMENT NETWORK (the so-called "Universal Service"). Services are provided for every public and private school in Piedmont and include: safe and certified network communications, mail boxes, high speed Internet access for management, administrative and educational purposes, information systems and hosting for school web sites (free of charge for maintenance and connectivity), community resources, long-distance support and training activities. CREATION OF SERVICE, ANIMATION AND EXPERIMENTATION CENTRES (Dschola project) Starting from their proven experience in ICT, a group of 18 secondary schools set up the required technical and organizational structures in order to become technological reference points in their local area. They are working hand-in-hand with the new school organization and process of gradual school-autonomy. Besides of these, 5 primary schools, with proven experience in didactics and educational methodologies, are in charge of organizing and fostering workshops, seminaries and conferences, in order to disseminate their own competencies.

L'idea di promuovere con un concorso a premi l'utilizzo di un linguaggio di programmazione a blocchi come Scratch per l'insegnamento dell'informatica nel biennio degli Istituti tecnici scaturisce da un percorso avviato da alcuni anni all'interno dell'Associazione, a seguito della riforma della scuola secondaria superiore. La semplicità e l'immediatezza del linguaggio Scratch uniti alla vocazione per la multimedialità, ne fanno uno strumento particolarmente adatto a motivare gli studenti all'apprendimento delle basi della programmazione.

During this week long course you will learn:
How to choose a MOOC approach that best suits your resources and pedagogical objectives
How to design your MOOC according to best practice and sound instructional design principles
How to prepare your content for uploading, translation and transcription on the EMMA platform
How to deliver your MOOC to take advantage of the different functionalities possible within EMMA
How to use the monitoring and analytical functionalities of the platform to evaluate the success of your MOOC from both the learner and the provider perspective.
This summer school is being organised together with Federica Weblearning platform & The European Association for Technology Enhanced Learning (JTEL) and is running alongside the JTEL summer school with which it is sharing a number of exchange and collaboration opportunities.

The main purpose of the community is to differentiate the various forms of knowledge representation from each other and to recover the general function of the knowledge representation connected with the learning environment. As a starting point, the community defined and shared a set of founding documents, which includes the Manifesto and the Documentation template. The community aims at structuring and organizing selective criteria in order to produce and make available documentations dealing with good practices on concept mapping.
