CELEBRATE
Context e-Learning with Broadband
Technologies
Summary
• Celebrate is an IST project from the
European Commission. It will outline the
pedagogy for collaborative learning
involving the creation and use of
interoperable Learning Objects in a new
generation of integrated managed learning
environments, which will be made available
via a Demonstration Portal to a select set of
schools across Europe.
Consortium
These are the 21 organizations participating in the Celebrate project.

Workplan 1
Celebrate is organized in eight interrelated work packages.
WP1-3 – Hungary is not involved, but provides information to their
work.
• WP1. User Requirements.
A comprehensive user needs survey and design for an
evaluation framework.
• WP2. Pedagogical Models for School Exploitation of Learning
Objects.
Descriptions of pedagogical models to support the
exploitation of more flexible forms of content.
• WP3. Development of the Brokerage System.
Examine standards, initiatives and tools concerning
interoperability of LOs and Learning Community Objects and
specify formats to allow interoperability.
Workplan 2
WP4. Creation of Learning Objects and Learning Object
Components.
Creation of a critical mass of LOs and LO components in up to
five subjects.
•

•
•
Hungary is going to develop learning objects science subjects
Physics, Chemistry, Geography, Biology and Mathematics
These learning Objects will be
interactive,
creative,
editable by teachers and
reproducible.
Workplan 3
Hungarian objectives
• to provide e-learning materials,
• to make teachers be able to produce those kind of
materials themselves.
How to provide these materials?
With creative teachers and professional developers.
Workplan 4
WP5. Set Up and Operation of the Demonstrator
Portal. Hungary is not involved
• Design, develop and make available a Demonstrator Portal
located at an existing open European school portal to
demonstrate:
• interoperability of LOs; development of European eLearning
environment based on project pedagogical models;
• good use of a selected Leaning Content Management System;
– interoperability with different LMS/LCMS;
– good learning management through flexible user interface.
Workplan 5
WP6. Broadband Pilots and Validation – Hungary is involved with
20 schools.
• The aim is to establish at least five broadband test-beds
providing access to 500 schools and provide validation report
on project's tools, content and services.
• In WP6 Hungary has the opportunity to test and use all the
materials produced by any partners in the project.
• It means that the participating schools
• can search and use a growing database of more thousands
Los,
• can modify and recreate any of them
Workplan 6
WP7. Evaluation
Provides an assessment of key aspects of
broadband learning environments built around
learning objects.
WP8. Exploitation & Dissemination
Develop business models for development,
marketing and dissemination of free and open
source LOs and LOs created for sale.
Objectives 1
1.
Outline a pedagogy for collaborative learning
–
–
involving the creation and use of interoperable Learning
Objects (LOs)
in a new generation of integrated managed learning
environments.
2. Investigate how Learning Objects can be handled
–
–
–
by a new generation of virtual learning environments
from a variety of different vendors and
to test the interoperability of these systems in a real-life
portal demonstrator.
Objectives 2
3. Investigate and demonstrate ways
• in which standards-compliant LOs can be platform
independent and
• can be delivered and used by teachers and pupils on a wide
range of devices.
4. Provide a Brokerage System that enables sharing of LOs and
interoperability of learning community services.
Objectives 3
5. Provide schools with access to a large-scale demonstrator of
an online content repository
– that includes the ability to share a critical mass of Learning
Objects and
– that can be used to create LOs (thousands of items).
– Further, to explore how a LO methodology can be applied
to educational activities and services as well as learning
materials.
Objectives 4
6.
Act as a catalyst for the European eLearning content
industry
7.
Integrate high quality digital European knowledge sources
from European science centres.
8.
Examine the extent to which new Learning Content
Management Systems (LCMS) based on LOs enable teachers
and pupils to engage in ‘open source’ content development.
9.
Evaluate the extent to which new, more flexible forms of
content development and distribution (based on reusable
LOs) impact upon the learning process and support a new
pedagogy for eLearning in schools based on constructivist
learning models.
Objectives 4
10. Improve and validate broadband access to ICT-based
learning content in or out of schools by building on existing
broadband pilots and infrastructures supported by
ministries of education in five countries.
11. Develop business models for content development,
management and distribution involving LOs to include
innovative pricing, royalty and licensing models. Build
scenarios for the self-sustainability of the CELEBRATE
demonstration portal including models based on new forms
of Public Private Partnerships.
