EUROGENE is a project sponsored by the European Commission’s e-Content Plus program which is establishing a multilingual reference portal for Genetics training based on the IMS learning design metadata framework. It is identifying and bringing together top quality digital educational content, which when enhanced with domain ontology metadata, allow educators to search for and assemble multilingual pedagogic and scientific peer-reviewed materials into customizable lecture support materials. This will enabling educators to develop multimedia educational content better, faster and with fewer resources.
The Eurogene idea
Authoring of educational content gradually shifts from a traditional approach (lectures with text books) to a more complex blended learning approach, in which publishers, lecturers and students play a complementary role. At the same time, specific domains such as human genetics have become "fast moving educational domains" due to continuous breakthrough research and innovation. Coherent supportive services and frameworks are lacking to support authors in their task of continuous development and updating of high quality educational packages with limited resources.
The EUROGENE's project objective is to migrate towards more efficient development of higher quality (multimedia) didactic material on genetics through the guided editing and "assembly" of educational packages based on the IMS learning design metadata framework and the sharing of different types of "learning objects" between content owners, in 9 languages.
The project will identify and bring together owners of complementary types of top quality digital educational content, enhance their existing content with domain ontology based metadata using state of the art annotation tools, develop and implement a shared quality control procedure for both pedagogic and scientific peer-review and tailor an advanced multilingual content search and editing tool to help content developers in constructing pedagogically sound educational packages.
Final aim is to establish the European reference portal for genetics that enables authors to develop multimedia educational content better, faster and with lesser resources.Eurogene Web Site |

The objective of Eurogene is to establish a European reference portal for genetic medicine that will bring together and catalogue a wide variety of multimedia resources produced by leading Geneticists around the world, enabling educators and students to quickly and easily find, organise recombine existing educational materials to fit their learning needs.
To achieve this goal Eurogene has created a domain ontology and hierarchy of terms and a set of web based tools for providing, finding and translating digital educational content in the field of genetic medicine.
Eurogene is helping move the Genetics community towards more efficient development of high quality didactic material on genetic medicine and guides authors through the editing and "assembly" of educational packages in numerous European Languages. |
