Telematics for Teacher Training 

The Telematics for Teacher Training project will encourage over 4,000 teachers to adopt telecommunications and new technologies in schools and universities across the European Union. It will establish courses for teachers within a growing consortium of universities and commercial services, which will continue to develop beyond the millennium. Primary and secondary teachers, their teacher trainers and library staff will develop new practices together enhancing the quality of learning and knowledge of Europe within the curriculum. Best practice will be refined for teachers of mathematics, languages, science and technology in several European languages and many cultures.

T3 will focus on supporting the new approach to education and training within the European Union: lifelong learning. Teachers will model this practice in front of their students. Teachers' skills in both Telematics applications and in tutoring students how to learn for themselves will be available, even in remote rural areas, with the use of new technologies. Universities in Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal and the UK form the consortium with support from partners which include telecommunication companies. These universities across Europe will design and develop courses for both staff and students. The T3 courses will use Telematics within their delivery, such as in school based teacher training and in the tutoring of teachers studying for a Masters of Education.

Commercial partners and ministries will use the experience to develop policies, services and marketing strategies appropriate to education. The three year project began in January 1996 and its website, the T3Centrum, provides a meeting place for teachers on the Internet. There they can find resources, information and opportunities for team teaching and collaborative development across Europe. International desktop videoconferencing through dial-up ISDN will provide further opportunities. The project also aims to refine a European core curriculum in Telematics for teacher trainers and provide guidelines for library staff in their support of teachers. These will be validated with European professional associations and education ministries.
