Modernization of Education

• Connected Classrooms• New Role of teachers/trainers and pupils/trainers• Educational games• Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) • Personalised and adaptive learning • Open Educational Resources (OER)

GOAL: Inclusive digital learning for all - Europe's youth, workers and citizens - to get the knowledge and skills to work and live in the 21st century.

Current Scenario: Policy

• Günther Oettinger- Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society Mission: "…… to reinforce digital skills and learning across society, with a view to empowering Europe’s workforce and consumers for the digital era"

• Opening up Education (Connect /EAC) action plan to tackle digital problems which are hampering schools and universities from delivering high quality education and the digital skills which 90% of jobs will require by 2020

• H2020 and FP7 invested about €220 million for technology enhanced learning through 60 projects in all contexts of learning from schools to higher education, workplace learning and life-long learning

• Call H2020-ICT-20-2015: 10 projects starting December 2015 – February 2016

Overall Aim:Promote modernization and excellence in education and training through pervasive access to digital learning and 21st century skillsScenario:• New interactions between formal and informal learning,

changing role of teachers, social media, students attitudes, strong demand innovation

Obstacles:• Silo-products, low interoperability, no cross-border adoption

ICT-22-2016: Technologies for Learning and Skills

Challenges • Creation of an innovation ecosystem that facilitates open,

more effective and efficient co-design, co-creation, and use of digital content, tools and services for personalised learning and teaching.

• And which allows co-creation and co-evolution of knowledge and partnerships to develop the appropriate components, services and leading learning technologies, which will empower teachers and learners and facilitate innovation in education and training

ICT-22-2016: Technologies for Learning and Skills

a. Innovation Action• Develop and test open, interoperable components for a flexible,

scalable and cost effective cloud-based digital learning infrastructure for primary and secondary education (K12)

• Personalised, collaborative or experimental learning and skills validation

Solutions should enable:• Easy creation, mix and re-use of content, services, applications and

contextual data for interactive learning processes; • New learning experiences and experimentation;• Innovative educational support services (e.g. learning analytics collecting,

storing, sharing learner data in a systematic, secure way)

Solutions should:• Have clearly defined learning context, integrate dynamic real-time

assessment of learner's progress; • Be tested through very large pilots in several European countries

a. Innovation Action

Expected Impact• Availability of new, open cloud-based components, tools and services

for use in digital learning scenarios; • Increased cross-border availability and wider adoption of education

technology • More efficient and effective learning• Scalable solutions, capable of reaching very large numbers of schools

and students, and deliver social innovation in education.

Budget € 20 million expected proposals €5 million
