HOW? ? webdesign, cms, outsourcing
Are there enough human resources(students-teacher
s) 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?

CONTENTMANAGEMENT AND SCHOOLS

• 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...

CONTENTMANAGEMENT AND SCHOOLS
Missing something?
E-LEARNING?
Let us be honestMaking 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.
