Protocol of the second SIG meeting: Protocol 2 June 2009
(ST) The main goal of this Special Interest Group is to elaborate a proposal for a new National Research Program on the topic of ICT in education, to be submitted to the State Secretariat for Education and Research.
Furthermore, the SIG aims at finding and sharing other funding opportunities in the field of eLearning, both at a national and international level.
What are your expectations for this SIG?
(ST) In the section “Other funding opportunities” do we want to create a sort of service to exchange info and requests about our projects? (e.g.: “I want to present a project about XYZ, is anybody interested in joining it?”, “We are going to present a project about ABC, we are looking for a partner with specific skills, is anybody intrerested?”, and other similar requests).
