This posting is the second one in a series of three linked blog entries. They all discuss the concluding phase of the WLP project and present an attched working note. This posting and the related note focus on analysing the developmental activities that have been put on the agenda, the reorietation that has occurred and the results that are coming up at the final stage.
At this phase of the WLP project it is necessary to work out a 'big picture' on the diverse developmental activities that have been launched at the European and in the participating countries. On the one hand it is essential to look back what changes have occurred in the course of the project work and what new elements have come into picture. On the other hand it is necessary to take a closer look at the achievements so far and what can be done in the remaining time. Regarding the last item, it is necessary to consider how the work of the WLP project can be linked to the achievements of parallel projects. ("We don't need to re-invent the wheel if it has been invented elsewhere.")
From this perspective the attached note examines thoroughly the project history of WLP from the perspective of developmental processes, construction of tools and platforms and setting the piloting agendas: The first section outlines the key questions that the 'big picture' has to answer (in order to specify what the WLP project has achieved as a pilot project). The second section examines the underlying ideas that were highlighted in the application and analyses the obstacles for piloting with the original ideas 'as such'. The third section links the work of the project to an ongoing conceptual change that has overshadowed the current discussion and developmental work on 'e-learning' or 'working and learning with web-resources'. The fourth section examines the key ideas that the WLP project has put forward regarding 'WLP web' and regarding web-based support for country-specific piloting activities. The fifth section relates the work of the WLP project to parallel progress in other projects and initiatives. The sixth section summarises the analyses and links the conclusions to the remaining tasks of the project. This note is a more extensive (and yet compressed) analysis on what has been happening in the project and how the current 'construction sites' can be brought into mature results. This analysis is closely related to the third note on presenting the web-base knowledge resources that the project has brought together. Pekka Kämäräinen |
