- promoteanew generationof Asian and Europeandesignerscapable of
design for sustainability
- (through anew generation of design educators )
- by creating anopen source, copyleftandreplicable learning
platform , with an articulated set of didactic materials ( learning
resources ), being a disciplinary ground onDesign for
Sustainabilityfocused onProduct-Service Systeminnovation, free to
use and adaptable by (any) teacher
LENS AMBITION 6. LeSN areas on concern of DxS focused on PSS 7.
a platform allowing interested teachers to downloadopen source and
copyleft learning resources(slideshows, texts, audio-videos, etc.)
that could bemodified/remixedandreused ,i.e.adapted according to
each teacher specific didactic needs, institutional requirements
and local context particularities MAIN OUTPUT:Open Learning
E-Package on DfS 8. MAIN ACTIVITY:8transculturallearning pilot
courses: . a EU teacher is guest by an Asian teacher (+ vice versa)
and they are observed by a third teacher . Asian students design
for EU context and are criticised by EU teacher (+ vice versa) .
All lectures are recorded: videos, slides, ... are uploaded (OLEP)
9. THE LOGICAL FRAMEWORK: ATRANSCULTURALLEARNING PROCESS 10. OLEP,
Open Learning E-Packagea quick tour to main functionalities 1.
downloading/viewing learning resources by teacher/course/year 2.
downloading/viewing learning resources by content/type 3. uploading
a course (learning resources collection) 11. STORYBOARD 1
downloadview learning resources by teacher/course/year e.g. a
STUDENT wants to VIEW learning resources related to the course
she/he is attending e.g. a TEACHER wants to set-up/up-date a course
on DfS andwants to search for appropriate learning resources to
DOWNLOAD, and modify/remix and reuse in her/his course 12. 1.a
student/teacher wants to have access to the didactic materials
(learning resources) of available courses / teachers a)the
student/teacher clicks on Learning resources 13. 2.the
student/teacher wants have access to all learning resources of a
particular teacher/course/year c) click on the desired
teacher/course/ year to access the related learning resources
collection a) and selects the teacher section b) selects a desired
language/s filtering the availablelearning resources 14. 3.the
student/teacher can view and download learning resources by title
and by format type d) FINALLY THE TEACHER CAN MODIFY/REMIX AND THEN
REUSE IN HER/HIS COURSE c) and click on download a) she/he can view
the learning resources b) select learning resources she/he want to
download 15. STORYBOARD 2 downloadview learning resources by
content / type e.g. a STUDENT wants to VIEW a learning resource
related to a specific topic even related to other courses she/he is
not attending e.g.a TEACHERwantsto add a content to her/his own
course on DfS, andwants to DOWNLOAD specific learning resources,
and then modify/remix and then reuse in her/his course 16.
1.thestudent/teacher wants to access all learning resources, with a
desired content e) once selected the learning resources it is
possible go to view/download c) then search with cross filteringby
content, years, formats, license, authors, and resource title a)
she/he clicks on search by content / type b) selects a desired
language/s filtering available learning resources... 17. section
under construction 2.the student/teacher views and downloads
resources with desired learning content d) FINALLY THE TEACHER CAN
MODIFY/REMIX AND THEN REUSE IN HER/HIS COURSE c) and click to
download the selected learning resources a) she/he can view a
learning resource b) select the learning resources she/he wants to
download 18. STORYBOARD 3 uploading a course (learning resources
collection) e.g. a TEACHER wishes to upload her/his own course, a
learning resource collection 19. 1.A teacher wants to upload his
own course a) she/he clicks on upload/modify b) clicks on Upload a
new course ... e) and click on Go to upload/modify 20. 2.the
teacher starts the setting-up of the course structure d) FINALLY
THE TEACHER CAN BROWSE FOR UP-LOQDING c) ... mayinserts a learning
subjectthe learning resource belong to a) inserts the learning
resource title of the didactic material she/he wants to upload ...
b) inserts the set of contents dealt in the learning resource d)
clicks on Upload 21.

teachers from Asia, Europe, America, Australia, Africa
- OTHER CONTRIBUTIONSARE EXPECTED FROM OTHER 6 PILOT COURSES (IIT
BEING THE NEXT)
22. LENS WEB-SITE: A REPLICABLE OPEN SOURCE AND COPYLEFT
PLATFORM 23.
- . facilitate knowledge dissemination
- . facilitate continuous and rapid knowledge upgrade
- . facilitate collaboration between researchers/teachers
- . facilitate knowledge adaptation in relation to different
contexts
- . scientific un-reliability of contents (review is time
consuming)
- . set up of dispersive web platform

partnerscanup-loadlearning resources and they respond personally to
the scientific quality of contents, i.e. partners constitute the
scientific board . LeNS is a lens: it isfocusedon design for
sustainability,focusedon PSS innovation, i.e. contents arenot
dispersive 25.
- LENS AS REPLICABLE PLATFORM
- THE SAME LENS WEB PLATFORM IS DOWNLOADABLE AS OPEN SOURCE AND
COPYLEFT
- > any educational institution, teacher,
sustainability-focused network, cangenerate a new LeNS-based
web-platform ,reconfiguring itby re-defining partners (the
scientific board), the sustainability focus, the geographical
representation
- > any new generated web platform upload learning resources
independently, thought any is linked with the others

REGENERATION BRASIL LeNS Brasilwill be launched the 10 thof
November 2009 in Sao Paolo AFRICA LeNS Africawill be launched the 9
thof September 2009 in Cape Town 27. go towww.lens.polimi.it and
register tojoin the network 1.if DfS on PSS IS your focus: join and
become a member of the network (free), download open learning
resources and tools on SPSS; you will receive the lens news letters
2.if DfS on PSS IS NOT your focus or if it is but you want to set
up a LOCAL network,download the LeNS site and adapt it to be a
support platform for your own issue/local related networking
activities, produce your own learning resources and make them
publicly available in open source and copyleft 28. LeNS CONFERENCE
