Development in EU-StORe
10
The development during the project EU-StORe could be seen in four different areas:
(1) Experts analyse open learning material and do research in the field of open educational resources (OER) and quality criteria for didactics and pedagogy, tocompile and structure information as a basic and first step for recommendations,guidelines and a policy paper.
(2) Experts identify and create information about open learning resources andstandards for open learning resources. They create quality criteria and use them forthe analysis of OER.
(3) The team develops an online platform which contains OER as well as thequality criteria for open learning and the ratings.
(4) Learning scenarios will be developed: online handbook for teachers and trainers
Implementation Part I
11
A1: General project management:
One major activity in the general project management is the communication among partners and with the responsible national agency as well as other external stakeholders. Furthermore the coordinator and the project partners have to deal with upcoming problems resulting from unexpected events, which may hinder the progress of the project, e.g. disagreements among partners and conflicts.
A2: Online collaboration platform
An online collaboration platform will be set up by Ingenious Knowledge and maintained for the duration of the project. It will provide possibilities for communication, file storage and work tracking.
A3: Project Dissemination
A website will be created to inform external stakeholders about the project and its development. The website will be maintained and regular updates will be conducted. In addition a social media presence will be established to allow for a more interactive way of communicating with the external stakeholders.
Implementation Part II
12
A4: project evaluation
The project management, development of the intellectual outputs and dissemination will be continuously evaluated as explained in detail in section E.1.
A5: Financial administration & controlling
In a continuous process the different ways of spending money in the project will be accounted for and the project coordinator is going to conduct quarterly checks on the planned versus spent budget to ensure the project is financially on track. Special focus will lie on the working days spent by the different partners on the activities leading to the intellectual outputs. The time sheets filled out by the project partners on a regular basis are used for this controlling. The financial accounting will be prepared according to the standards defined by the national agency.
A6: Project reports
The final and the interim reports will be prepared. The project activities and the project's progress are documented and compared to the original plans as outlined in this application.
