Camilleri, European Foundation for Quality in eLearning – EFQUEL, Belgium, Dimitra Pappa, National Centre of Science Research Demokritos, Greece, Anne Christine Tannhauser, European Foundation for Quality in eLearning – EFQUEL, Belgium
The workshop addresses sharing and collaborating around educational ideas before they materialize to educational resources. In the session, educators discuss enablers and barriers around idea sharing practices in educational communities, followed by a hands-on experience on collaborative OER development building ideas into educational resources.
In the first part of the workshop, emerging approaches and methodologies will be shortly introduced and intensively discussed with the audience. The importance of engaging users at an early stage of the OER development process will be discussed. In the second part, participants will work in groups (hands-on) to collaboratively build educational ideas in to units of study. The session concludes in a discussion and reflection on the exercise, emphasizing the need for collaborative idea generation.

MAJMIN Major Competences to Manage Minor Offenders Project
- LEONARDO-LMP
The MAJMIN EU Leonardo da Vinci project aims to develop specific professional training provisions enforcing the management of those involved in working in the field of juvenile crime, for a better response to the needs for social inclusion of minor offenders. Companies face transgressions offenders, seeking solutions, in which segments representing the professionals who deal with juvenile offenders (legal assistance during the punishment, social, pedagogical and psychological, for the nursing staff, the educational and training) have little specialized training in working with juvenile offenders. A curriculum and methodology specific to them (including psychological training) are needed.

What Makes Change Happen in Education Institutions? External Pressure, Strategic Leadership and Micro-Innovation Stimulus in the Experience Collected by VISIR
- Claudio Dondi, MENON, Belgium, Jeff Haywood, University Edinburgh, United Kingdom, Andrea Karpati, Eötvös Lórand University Budapest, Hungary, Eva Seiler, University of Zürich, Switzerland, Branka Vuk, Croatian Academic and Research Network, CARNet, Croatia, Wim Van Petegem, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
In the period 2012-2014, the VISIR project has produced a long-term vision on the contribution of ICT for transforming education and training, and has validated this vision through three broad stakeholders consultations, collecting more than 7.000 opinions. The project has mapped 120 micro-innovation practices. The findings have been discussed through Exchange Seminars and mainstreaming events.
Whilst educational systems have responded to policy initiatives that aim to stimulate innovation and promote modernisation, there is evidence that institutional education environments are often inherently conservative, slow to change and not supportive to grassroots innovation.
This work resulted in a set of recommendations targeted to policy makers, leaders in education institutions and practitioners. The Panel will gather experts and leaders in the field of e-learning to discuss and improve the recommendations and advise how to foster change in European education systems.
