NEXT-TELL - Next Generation Teaching, Education and Learning for Life
NEXT-TELL is an IP in the ICT challenge of the 7th framework programme of the EC; its main objective is to provide, through research and development, computational and methodological support to teachers and students so that they have nuanced information about learning when it is needed and in a format that is supportive of pedagogical decision making, thus optimizing the level of stimulation, challenge, and feedback for students. The project will focus on technology tools to support classroom instruction that supports teachers (and in appropriate form other stakeholders) to handle the information on students' learning in real time, and to individualize and optimize the classroom learning environment while the learning process is still under way.
NEXT-TELL will focus on how such advanced learning technologies can be integrated into teachers' practices, schools' workflows and communication with stakeholders outside of schools (parents, potential employers) in order to provide for an overall learner-centred, adaptive classroom a system, not a single application.
Within the NEXT-TELL project, the CSS - with its expertise in intelligent educational systems as well as high-quality quantitative and qualitative empirical research in the field of technology-enhanced learning - will contribute to develop and implement a research methodology that upholds methodological standards and meets the challenge to integrate results from different educational systems. A main concern is the orchestration of teachers' pedagogical practices (adaptive teaching), students' personalized learning activities, and the support for cognitive and social technology-enhanced learning processes.
