Next Generation Teaching, Education and Learning for Life
NEXT-TELL is an IP in the ICT challenge of the 7th framework programme of the EC. Its main objective is to provide, through research and development, computational and methodological support to teachers and students.

The project vision of the 21st Century classroom is that of a technology- and data-rich environment that supports teachers and students to use various sources of information generated in the classroom and during homework in pedagogical decision-making. Such an information infrastructure will improve instruction, diagnosis, workflow, and productivity as well as enhance collaboration and communication among students, teachers, and other stakeholders, especially parents. Teachers in particular will be supported in their function as diagnosticians who have to make constantly and rapidly decisions in a highly dynamic and complex environment.

NEXT-TELL aims at bringing this vision to life.

Main objectives
To bring about the project vision of 21st Century classroom learning, NEXT-TELL will work towards these main objectives:
  1. Articulate a conceptual framework for designing and implementing methods that can be used to formatively assess ICT-enhanced learning and to negotiate the assessment process amongst stakeholders.
  2. Provide resources and ICT support for teachers and students to develop learning activities and appraisal methods appropriate for 21st Century learning based on this conceptual framework.
  3. Provide IT support in the classroom so that teachers and students have available nuanced information about students’ learning when it is needed and in a format that is supportive of decision making, thus optimizing levels of stimulation, challenge, and feedback.
  4. Provide IT support for making students’ activities in informal learning places – and in general in the “learning ecology” outside of school – part of ‘accountable work’, thus building on students’ interests, fostering their identity development and supporting their social networks.
  5. Foster in-service teachers’ professional development by providing new methods and tools forlearning from students’ learning and for learning from peers’ teaching.
  6. Increase a school’s capacity for data-driven decision making by means of leadershipdevelopment, including ICT support for the strategic planning of teachers’ professional development.
