About Share.TEC
Share.TEC stands for “Sharing Digital Resources in the Teaching Education Community”, a 3-year project (2008 to 2011) co-funded by the European Community’s eContentPlus programme. Share.TEC is devoted to fostering a stronger digital culture in the TE field and to supporting the development of a Europe-wide perspective among those working in and with the TE community.
To do this, Share.TEC is developing an online platform which will help practitioners across Europe search for, learn about and exchange resources of various kinds, and will support the sharing of experience about the use of those resources. The system is primarily designed for teacher educators and for teachers engaged in pre-service education and continuous professional development; it will also cater for developers and publishers of digital resources for TE.
GIVE TAKE USE
Working in their own language and – most importantly - with the concepts and terms typical of their particular context of practice, users will be able to perform personalised searches across a “federation” of TE-focused repositories and collections managed by public and private institutions throughout Europe. Project partners’ substantial collections will represent the starting core of this federation, which will steadily expand and diversify as new repositories join and individual users share their own resources. Indeed, Share.TEC’s efforts to propagate innovation in TE will very much rely on the active involvement of users, and the engagement of existing professional communities and other stakeholders across Europe is central to building a sustainable system capable of meeting changing TE needs beyond the project period.
Interviews with invited experts were performed at the first Share.TEC workshop in Venice, watch videos here.
