HOW? webdesign, cms, outsourcing

Are there enough human resources(students-teachers) and ...is there sufficient knowhow to build a(W)CMS?

Very few examples for outsourcing

Example: School is outsourcing ist maintenance of computers or database driven management of students and classes or graduates (www.klassentreffen.at)

Are there schools which use a „professional“ CMS?

Our next plans for the near future:Our next plans for the near future:

• setting up a Community among the students and teachers Participation in the project: IMST (Innovation in Science, Math and Technology Teaching)

• Trying to improve the flow of information among all school partners (if it is desired at all) [normally underdeveloped in most of the schools]

• Hoping that IT and CMS lead to a better school [whatever you understand by that...]

Missing something?

E-LEARNING?Let us be honest:

Making available a lot of educational material, putting it categorized on the inter/intranet, offering drill- practice and assessing programs, some visualizations and animations and making possible communication by E-Mail or Chatrooms, is for sure a supporting tool to catalyze getting data (information) on demand, but no warranty for a lasting „LEARNING“ process.
