More information about the Open Discovery Space:
Open Discovery Space eLearning Project will unleash the innovation Potential of students, teachers and schools.
Open Discovery Space: Open Discovery Space: A socially-powered and multilingual open learning infrastructure to boost
the adoption of eLearning resources
Open Discovery Space aims to serve as an accelerator of the sharing, adoption, usage, and re-purposing of the already
rich existing educational content base. Open Discovery space will promote community building between numerous
schools of Europe and empower them to use, share and exploit unique resources from a wealth of educational
repositories, within meaningful educational activities. In addition, it will demonstrate the potential of eLearning
resources to meet the educational needs of these communities, supported by European Web portal: a community-
oriented social platform where teachers, pupils and parents will be able to discover, acquire, discuss and adapt
eLearning resources on their topics of interest. Finally, Open Discovery Space will assess the impact and document the
whole process into a a roadmap that will include guidelines for the design and implementation of effective resource-
based educational activities that could act as a reference to be adopted by stakeholders in school education.
