Bergen: March 2015
|
The second project meeting took place in the city of Bergen from March 5th to 7th, 2015. Project partners from Norway, Germany and the UK were joined by new partners from the Reviuslycuem from the Netherlands. After welcomes and reiterating the project aims for our new partners we discussed the development of three eBooks for the first part of the project. |

Progress was discussed and work was done on the development of these three books (see the first blog discussion for the conceptual framework). The three eBooks are under development and timescales were set looking forward to the multiplier event in Karlsruhe in October of this year.
The three books will focus on:
B1 – The production of eBooks by students and teacher educators.
B2 – The affordance of the eBook and the nature of interactivity in books set against some pedagogic frameworks (Bloom, iPAC and others).
B3 – Training teachers to use tablets in the classroom and beyond.

The iPAC model suggests that mobile technologies have three key affordances
