The 4th EFQUEL Innovation Forum took place in Lisbon, Portugal in collaboration with the Catholic University of Portugal (UCP) and the National Institute for Public Administration of Portugal (INA).
The conference took place at the Instituto Nacional de Administração (INA), situated in the gardens of the old Palace de Marqueses de Pombal in Oeiras, close to Lisbon, Portugal.
Interesting opportunity to participate, listen and share the modern concepts about the current paradigms and evolution of the Open Educational Resources (OER) and Games Based Learning (GBL) in school education in line with the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion.
On the 8th September during the "OPEN PROJECT LABORATORY" the ENGAGE workshop 3 "Games in school - a serious matter to consider for excellent classrooms...?!" led by Sébastien Reinders, Gina Souto and Rolf Reinhardt joined an interested group of teachers and stakeholders of the educational sphere.
Gina Souto presentation and theme discussion : "Creative learning in the digital age" (OER, GBL, Mobile Learning at Secondary School).
Sébastien Reinders presentation : "Serious Games on learning".
Open Educational Resources (OER) are high on the agenda of social inclusion policies and supported by many stakeholders of the educational sphere. User Generated Content is more relevant than ever, co- and peer-production increasingly at the heart of content development.
At the same time, assessment and quality assurance processes are put to test because well contributed experts' and teachers' led approaches to assess and certify quality seem to become less effective in view of user created content and freely available resources.EFQUEL
