AGORA - Objectives The AGORA initiative on Lifelong Learning was launched by IFIP in Poitiers, France, October 2006 Main Objectives § implementing a dynamic methodology for initiating a network of cooperation projects on Lifelong Learning with many different stakeholders. § to enhance e-competence and knowledge work competence of workers and students taking account of the level of access to ICT and the level of e-readiness of the national society. § acknowledge that each ‘Lifelong Learning’ situation is a contextual situation, dependent on cultural, social and economical context. § providing a methodical concept of action where contextual local efforts can be connected to each other and may contribute in a synergetic manner to increase generic common knowledge about Lifelong Learning.

Studios On the local context level Studios will be directed at real-world creation of practical instances of e-Education for Lifelong Learning in different areas of Computer Science Education and educational use of ICT. Studios will provide contextual solutions, suitable for the cultural, social and economic context and for the special demands of the specific subject area of Lifelong Learning.

Atelier On a generalizing and co-ordinating level AGORA introduces an Atelier which is mutually linked with the studios. § The ‘Atelier’-function in the project: – generate generic knowledge based on the experiences of the different studios. – this knowledge can be applied in local ‘Studio’s’ where Lifelong Learning pilot implementations are realised. – the generic educational Lifelong Learning model developed in the Atelier will be evaluated and improved in a process of critical review of the pilot implementations – concurrently improve practice of Lifelong Learning in the local Studios. § Complex subject areas may have several ateliers to coordinate their activities. Thus a hierarchical structure of specific, topic related and more general ateliers may emerge.

Individual Outcomes for Students § Project with real-life situations was highly motivating for the students § Professional competencies: e. g. skills in programming distributed and web-based systems, database management, mobile communication, screen design, project management § “Continuous and Cooperative Self-qualification and Self-organization (Co. SS)”; knowledge transfer in a team § Methodological competencies: in project management, user requirement analysis and presentation skills are applied in the context of a real situation; needs of documentation; § Social competencies: collaborative learning in a distributed team; using ICT for SD and collaboration; negotiating working conditions; Objectives I Methods I Studio II I Further Action IFIP AGORA Initiative on Lifelong - Learning Results from Seoul Seminar 2007 19

Institutional Outcomes for CSE § Industrial partners are provided with prototypes of software-products for professional use § International co-operation between business and universities leads to a more practice oriented concept of teaching subjects of software-engineering § The team is composed of interdisciplinary skills. Co-operation between students of different universities and faculties fosters exchange of ideas and diversity of knowledge § The project team covers the whole spectrum from research to practice (constrains of practice: budget, time, existing structures) § In comparison with traditional teaching concepts the students obtained a more decisive and managing role in the project § Teachers got a more advisory role focusing on the project management and supporting the process of knowledge acquisition § Project assessment methods like Wiki and Blogs edited by the students are used and improved Objectives I Methods I Studio II I Further Action IFIP AGORA Initiative on Lifelong - Learning Results from Seoul Seminar 2007 20
