TACCLE
Teachers' Aids on Creating Content for Learning Environments is a EU funded Comenius multilateral project.
Learning environments offer excellent opportunities for stimulating lifelong learning in both compulsory and adult education. The creation of high quality content for (personal) learning environments is essential for the successful use of e-learning. It is important to train teachers how to create such content and this is the main aim of our project: helping teachers to develop their own e-learning materials.

With this fourth in-service training which will run from 15 until 22 April 2012 in Ancona, Italy (reference number: BE-2012-167-001 Comenius or BE-2012-168-001 Grundtvig) our aim is to help teachers to develop state of the art content for e-learning in general and for learning environments in particular. We try to achieve this by training teachers to create e-learning materials and raising their awareness of e-learning in general. TACCLE will help to establish a culture of innovation in the schools in which they work. The training is geared to the needs of the classroom teachers but teacher trainers, ICT support staff and resource centre staff may find it useful too!
