Why this project? EdReNe 8th Strategic Seminar, 7th-8th May 2012, Lisbon, Portugal From other (ECK 1) projects we learned: Teachers need variation on their basic curriculum The current search facilities do not provide enough useful teaching material (too much, not appropriate, not good enough) This includes: - general search facilities (the Googles) - specific search facilities (teachers search portals like Wikiwijs)

Slide 4

Ambition EdReNe 8th Strategic Seminar, 7th-8th May 2012, Lisbon, Portugal Achieve a fundamental improvement for the teacher who wants to make a good mix of educational resources and wants to use this mix in an effective way. 2 scenarios: A.

Back to the project : evaluation EdReNe 8th Strategic Seminar, 7th-8th May 2012, Lisbon, Portugal What did we evaluate How did we evaluate What did we learn so far Next steps

Slide 27

Evaluatie van de proeftuinen leermiddelenmix VO Irma van der Neut Marian Kat-de Jong

Slide 28

What did we evaluate 1.Questions for the project / programme (ECK2) 2.Questions for teachers 3.Questions for content providors, repository owners and portal builders

Slide 29

Questions for teachers 1.Are the 2 search scenarios (- structure of the textbook or - subject matter / detailed curriculum description) usefull for teachers when they are looking for additional or replacement teaching material? 2.Do teachers get enough and relevant search results when searching by detailed curriculum specifications?

Slide 30

How did we evaluate Sessions with 21 teachers Demonstration of both scenarios Hands-on search excercises and evaluations Interviews (14) with content owners who offered learning objects. Interviews with portal builders (both educational publishers and open content owners) Interviews with metadata editors

Slide 31

Some results.. EdReNe 8th Strategic Seminar, 7th-8th May 2012, Lisbon, Portugal Teachers appreciate searching for additional teaching material by (detailed) curriculum description (convenience, speed, better than Google) Methodically working teachers prefer scenario A (search from the structure of the textbook) Teachers expect that from Scenario A additional material found on the publishers website is judged on quality Teachers expect that additional material is free and open (and easy to access) Teachers wanted more info (metadata) on the learning objects to judge the individual learning objects (type of material, typical learning time, rating/peer review, ) Queries build by publishers are not always what teachers wish or expect

Slide 32

Results and the future The results are currently only available for internal use. We need more investigation We will start other projects (primary school, vocational training, project linked data)

Slide 33

Results metadata Takes a lot of time Can only be done by specialists on the subject

Slide 34

Results curriculum based vocabularies Nearly everybody finds it good to have a standard description of the curriculum A detailed vocabulairy gives better search results For Mathematics and geography the representation of the curriculum in the pilot was clear but there were remarks on complexcity and details
