Flow of information/knowledge construction andarchitecture • Bottom-up: the information/knowledge is selected, collected and described by users (mainly teachers), then it is judged by experts (generally university teachers or regional research centers researchers) and afterwards it is offered to users • Full-text database Antonella Turchi, Silvia Panzavolta - ANSAS - Italy 5th Strategic Seminar, EdReNe project, Copenhagen, October, 6-7

  9. Information description • The information is described through metadata • The metadata schema is a subset of LOM • The repository has a subject indexing through the LRE thesaurus Antonella Turchi, Silvia Panzavolta - ANSAS - Italy 5th Strategic Seminar, EdReNe project, Copenhagen, October, 6-7

  10. LRE descriptors The LRE thesaurus has been developed by INDIRE, initially in 5 languages. Now the thesaurus has 19 language versions. It is used in the largest EU repository (LRE portal) and by national repositories too (i.e. Ireland, Austria, Israel, Italy) THE GOLD Database on educational best practices, http://gold.indire.it/gold2/ Antonella Turchi, Silvia Panzavolta - ANSAS - Italy 5th Strategic Seminar, EdReNe project, Copenhagen, October, 6-7

  18. National projects using the GOLD model Recently, the Ministry of education had adopted the GOLD model for many national projects such as the national project on Citizenship, on Music Education and within the School 2.0 and Interactive Whiteboard projects, thus widening the reach of the GOLD model Antonella Turchi, Silvia Panzavolta - ANSAS - Italy 5th Strategic Seminar, EdReNe project, Copenhagen, October, 6-7

  19. Call for funds • One every year, in June (when school year has finished) • Contribution to schools: 3.000 € (1.000 € for the documentation work already done; 2.000 € for transforming the documentation into a multimedia product or – in case the documentation is already multimedia – for training other teachers Antonella Turchi, Silvia Panzavolta - ANSAS - Italy 5th Strategic Seminar, EdReNe project, Copenhagen, October, 6-7

  20. Example of school documentation #1: social community with web TV Antonella Turchi, Silvia Panzavolta - ANSAS - Italy 5th Strategic Seminar, EdReNe project, Copenhagen, October, 6-7

  23. Shift in the narratives of teachers’ documentation Teachers are being trained to use multimedia in documentation. This shift has several advantages: • To allow teachers to use multimedia with a specific objective • To transfer the knowledge acquired in multimedia documentation to everyday classes • To “force” team documentation, thus having a pool of documenting teachers and not a lonely documenting teachers • To allow students’ participation in the process of documenting their school experience (shared metacognition –> formative process) • To explore the new opportunities of the web Antonella Turchi, Silvia Panzavolta - ANSAS - Italy 5th Strategic Seminar, EdReNe project, Copenhagen, October, 6-7

  24. Facts and figures • About 6,000 practices described + 7,000 LOs • 786 best practices selected • Around 500 hits/day on the GOLD national site • Single statistics on each practice • Project started in 1999 • Mentioned in a Florence University – Faculty of social sciences - study as one of the 4 best projects in the public administration sector Antonella Turchi, Silvia Panzavolta - ANSAS - Italy 5th Strategic Seminar, EdReNe project, Copenhagen, October, 6-7
