EU-supported educational research 1995-2005

Insight (insight.eun.org) is EUNs observatory for new technology and education. It provides policy-makers, school leaders and all actors in the field of ICT in education with news and analysis on e-learning in Europe. A newsletter is also available to inform on the latest stories and reports published on the portal.

Among the portal features are country reports which give a detailed description of the latest developments in policy, practice, teacher training, content and infrastructure.

The website is organised in three sections: Policy, Interoperability and School Innovation. A separate section brings in regularly a thematic dossier on core issues in ICT in education. Themes are transversally interlinked and access is given to outside resources, e-learning networks and observatories. The latest dossier on Insight is on e-assessment.

The Insight portal also offers several tools such as a resource library which gives access to research reports, policy documents and other related e-learning material, share experience and network among peers such as myInsight.

The myInsight services includes RSS feeds from the sections of the site you are most interested in, a shared calendar of activities and a partner finding tool in the myInsight Community.

To register for myInsight and gain access to the full version of the country reports, use the sign up button on the Insight homepage at http://insight.eun.org." (in "Insight: knowledge base for new technology and education", http://insight.eun.org/ww/en/pub/insight/index.htm, 2007.10.08).

Gateway to research on education in Europe

WIFO Gateway
This website has emerged in the context of European research projects carried out by the Research Forum WIFO. It is an information service, free of charge, provided by researchers for researchers. From its beginning in 1997, the WIFO site has collected resources in the field of European education, with a focus on vocational education, more recently also including human resource development. Major sections of the WIFO site have benefited from developing a web based European Research Overview (ERO) as part of the CEDEFOP Research Arena (CEDRA). The stimulating collaboration in this context, above all with Barry Nyhan, is particularly acknowledged. 

Work for the WIFO Gateway has been guided by the following principles:

• active collaboration: resources have been compiled in the course of partnership work for EU projects and as part of networking activities, with intensive communication via ordinary means (email, phone and face-to-face);
• interesting content: the key is to provide information that researchers both need and produce in their ordinary work process; the challenge is to find a professional way, based on information processing, of producing this content;
• continuous updating: while research activities are subject to permanent change - new projects, schemes and websites all the time - the gateway wants to offer continuity of services, right up to the latest information available; 
• simple design: the web pages have been created without any programming skills, just by using Netscape Composer; yet care is taken to ensure easy navigation, quick orientation and a pleasant look.

Collaboration with related networks and websites has been highly valued (see links). The WIFO Gateway is part of the envisaged European Research Area in Education.
