With my recents postings ("Getting the act together") to the blog WLP project management I have made some proposals how to bring the WLP project to a mature phase. These proposals have dealt with the country studies, process development and the architecture of the WLP website (see the attachment). With this posting (and a series of others to come) I try to put the users to the centre with a question: "How to make the knowledge resources of the WLP project work together?"
In the recent period I have had to give a lot of thoughts on the work that has been undertaken and on the results that are coming up on the WLP project. As I have emphasised on various occasions, the WLP project has gone through a period during which it has had to modify its work programme. In this context the project has had to reconsider what is possible to achieve when the underlying ideas have met obstacles and work has taken somewhat different course.
The major conceptual change that has occurred has been a transition from
a) separate 'packaged knowledge resources' to 'networked knowledge resources' and from
b) separate 'e-learning platforms' (in their own sphere) to 'working and learning with web-based resources'.
From this perspective I try to make transparent what is special (from the users' point of view) in the Resource Areas that we are building in the WLP project. To me the idea is growing gradually on the drawing board but it is difficult to communicate if the discussion focuses on single Resource Areas or single tools or single knowledge elements.
In the subsequent postings I try to give a picture of the building of mutually complementing resource areas that cover the following resources:
Resource Area 1: The preparatory tools for analyses of the preconditions for partnership creation,
Resource Area 2: The KLearn planning tools that provide a 'simulation cabin' for getting insights into partnership development,
Resource Area 3: The case stories that present WLP partners' experiences on piloting and/or their insights into development of partnership-based cooperation in their countries,
Resource Area 4: The WLP Multimedia resources that provide video and audio materials on issues that are central for the WLP project and for learning from each other,
Resource Area 5: The WLP Partners' Areas that provide specific web areas for piloting (e.g. The Italian Piloting Forum) and dissemination (e.g. The Slovenian Dissemination Forum).
In the following postings the building of these resource areas is being discussed alongside the development of the materials. The idea is make the knowledge resource work togethether within the areas and across the areas.
