Consider that learning is not just
an act of learning but a result of the whole context in which
learning takes place.
Go beyond the naive idea of
quality, "nice" products as outcomes. We believe in reaching
a full model of total quality of learning, looking beyond local
interactions and taking into account multiple factors.
Revive foundations such as "constructivism".
Autonomy, diversity, personal learning paths are values.
Explore new technologies, distribution and mobility
concepts.
Bi-directional transfer of knowledge as the leading
force for the transformation of research results into innovations.
AIDA as an open environment for the construction of
ideas in the field of Technology Enhanced Learning that can be widely
exploited or successfully commercialised
Mission
Strengthen the capacity to transform Kaleidoscope's
scientific breakthroughs and technological achievements into industrial
and commercial successes.
Attempt to stimulate the development of learning with
technologies which will have an effect on the quality of life in our
societies as well as on Europe's industrial competitiveness.
Activities
AIDA's activities are divided in 3 groups of actions:
1. Get and Store INFORMATION (market watch, Kaleidoscope
competencies, industry contacts, research interests, etc.)
2. Set an open COMMUNICATION environment (review of projects,
organisation of an "ideas nursery" setting, etc.)
3. TRANSFER knowledge, disseminate and spread excellence
(web site, events, training, etc.)
