Sažetak
Abstract: In the first instance the design and implementation phases of the UNITE project pedagogical framework and related tools, the production of resource materials, teacher education and platform use, are presented. UNITE (Unified e-Learning environment for the school) is a European FP6 research project which aims to integrate innovative state-of-the-art technologies in e- and m-learning into secondary school classroom practice. A case for best practice is made through a discussion of the validation phase of the project which involved the quality control of the scenarios, the validation of the pedagogical processes and the evaluation of the pedagogical dimensions of the learning scenarios. These processes were based on feedback provided by teachers and students from the participating 14 European schools and pedagogical and technological experts. This feedback showed that UNITE has a huge potential as a powerful and integrated teaching and learning system. It can offer value-added in the areas of autonomous and collaborative learning. However for such a system to reach its full potential a culture shift needs to take place in schools and teachers need to be supported strongly in all the phases of planning, implementation and evaluation. They are to be supported not only through resource materials available in print and online but also through direct training and collaborative planning and implementation of scenarios. The UNITE scenarios were analysed according to Reeves’ (1994) pedagogical dimensions. The different phases of the project present a pedagogical and technological recipe with the necessary ingredients for a best practice approach to the enhancement of learning experiences.
