Example 1: Digital Learning across Boundaries (DLaB) Project and MOOC
A 3-year Erasmus+ funded project consisting of 50 participants from 9 schools, universities and cultural institutions from Norway, Belgium, England and Denmark, working to addresses the need to align European educational practice with ways in which digital technology is changing how and what we learn, and how we apply this in education.
The project aims to promote digital learning across the boundaries of physical spaces, across curriculum subjects and across languages and cultures, to facilitate collaborative learning across national boundaries.
Over three years three ‘learning across boundaries’ themes have been adopted:
-
Technology Outdoors: bridging formal and informal learning by extending learning beyond traditional classroom spaces and supporting learners with disadvantaged backgrounds by managing transitions positively through collaborative outdoor learning experiences.
-
Stem to SteAm: adding the Arts to the integrated study of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths creating interdisciplinary challenge-based online learning resources.
-
Technology Enabled CLIL: using curriculum contexts to teach language competencies and cultural sensitivity with aim of meeting the language needs of a diversity of learners, including learners for whom English is an additional language (EAL/EFL).
