DESCRIPTION
VIsion, Scenarios, Insights and Recommendations on how ICT may help making lifelong learning a reality for all (VISIR) The aim of the VISIR network is to contribute to the full exploitation of the potential of ICT to transform and innovate European lifelong learning and to equip European citizens with digital competencies and other key transversal competencies for life and employability in Europe.The project will analyse the existing trends on ICT for learning in Europe and draft a long term vision on the contribution of ICT for transforming education and training systems and catalogue successful ICT-for-learning micro-innovation practices. It will facilitate exchange of ideas and concerns around these practices through the organisation of six transnational seminars connected to major conferences focusing on specific “sectors in change” of ICT-for-learning and through a web2.0 “online showcase”. The project also aims to facilitate the mainstreaming of these practices both towards E&T policy makers and towards learning communities and provide research-grounded recommendations for policy making and for innovative practices large scale scalability and transferability.

VISIR addresses three main gaps
“Understanding gap”the theories of changes and the intervention logics utilised in the different LLL sectors must be analysed and coherently integrated in some common scenarios and recommendations for change targeted both to policy and practice
“Networking gap”flows of information among ICT-for-learning experts and practitioners from different fields and across European Members states must be made smoother and must be based on recognized “good practices which work”
“Mainstreaming gap”the micro-innovation practices that exist around Europe must be made visible as ways to mainstream a meaningful bottom-up use of ICT for learning and must be the basis on which future scenarios and visions of European ICT for learning are built and discussed
