Partnership
6
Special Interest Groups

• Three Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
• ? To gather and share information and knowledge
  on the field of ICT to be used in
  Comenius schools
• SIGs
• SIG 1 Synchronous and Asynchronous Communication
• SIG 2 Emerging Technologies
• SIG 3 Collaborative Working Spaces
• SIGs are not concentrating on technology but
  on pedagogical use of ICT.

7
Synchronous and Asynchronous Communication (SIG 1)

• Main focus
• The purpose of this SIG is to offer Comenius
  schools and teachers background information that
  helps them to start or develop their ICT-related
  projects.
• There are two main ways to collaborate online
• synchronous communications
• Chat, videoconferencing, NetMeeting / IP
  videoconferencing
• asynchronous communications
• e-mail, mailing lists, bulletin boards,
  collaborative working space, a guest book

8
Synchronous and Asynchronous Communication (SIG 1)

• Activities
• sharing general guidelines for various types of
  collaboration and offering basic guidelines for
  project-work communication
• disseminating good communication practices
• providing a database, Kbase, and links to
  regional/national lists of users of
  videoconferencing facilities.

9
Emerging Technologies (SIG 2)

• Main focus
• This SIG promotes the educational benefits of ICT
  and the development of classroom methods based on
  upcoming newer technologies such as mobile
  learning devices, broadband Internet connections,
  online audio broadcasting and streaming media by
• sharing information
• enhancing cooperation (fostering both cooperation
  between educational institutions and companies
  and transnational cooperation between interested
  schools)
• organising training (national and transnational
  workshops).
• Teachers, teacher educators and school
  administrators are the main target group

10
Emerging Technologies (SIG 2)

• Activities
• sharing information and news over SIG website
• disseminating recent scientific and educational
  research findings
• offering ICT tools and services
• disseminating examples of good practice

11
Emerging Technologies (SIG 2)

• Activities
• organizing events
• interacting via the SIG website communication
  area
• arranging one or two workshops on Streaming Media
  and Mobile Learning Devices.

12
Collaborative Working Spaces (SIG 3)

• Main focus
• This SIG helps Comenius teachers and students to
  use web-based tools. These tools are intented to
  allow users to share and process their projects
  collaboratively.
• These working spaces offer collaboration
  facilities
• communication tools
• sharing documents and other resources
• open or restricted websites for processing and
  publishing documents.

13
Collaborative Working Spaces (SIG 3)

• Activities
• training students and teachers to work in
  collaborative environments
• using and disseminating models of project work
  that enables Comenius partners
• to collaborate on project documents etc.
• to communicate by using e-mail, mailing lists,
  discussion forums etc.
• to publish their project results and products on
  the Internet

14
Collaborative Working Spaces (SIG 3)

• Activities
• conducting a survey
• to collect information in order to compare and
  evaluate the web-based tools made available and
  use of collaborative working spaces offered by
  the COMP_at_CT
• to identify their advantages, disadvantages and
  provide suggestions on how to make better use of
  them and their facilities
• disseminating examples of how the various tools
  can be exploited.
