eCOLOURS: CO-developing
and LOcalizing learning resoURces for Schools: a Feasibility Project
eContent Programm period 2001-2004 EDC—42091 |
eCOLOURS is a feasibility project involving Ministries of Education,
leading educational content developers and a major educational content
repository. It addresses the needs of a European educational content
industry that remains fragmented and has been slow to develop cross-border
approaches to co-production and localisation. By conducting experiments
in cross-border co-development and localisation, the project will develop
a small number of learning resources and evaluate these with teachers. A key aim in the project is particularly to identify
roadblocks to collaborative, cross-border development and to make recommendations
concerning how these
roadblocks and inhibitors can be overcome. Consequently, a systematic,
in-depth analysis will be made of the pedagogical, design, technical,
multilingual, and business issues that currently inhibit cross-border
content development/localisation. Special attention will be paid to IPR
and licensing issues that need to be addressed in order for collaborative
approaches to co-development and localisation to take off. Based on this
analysis, the project will propose a set of services that could: support
different types of cross-border collaboration; provide an initial business
model to help Ministries realise the concept of "a European network
of educational content clearinghouses" recently proposed by the
Hungarian Ministry of Education.
