ICT Design Teams: teams of teacher trainers/experts who go
collectively through a design process in order to deliver a
qualitative product. The design teams aim (1) to contribute to the
further professionalisation of teacher trainers and (2) to stimulate
the cooperation between different actors in the field of education
with regard to ICT competences
❖
From at least three different institutions
❖
Funding: 10.000€ per design team, of which max. 5000€ for the
team leader
❖
Team members participate on a voluntary basis!
Conditions
❖
Bottom-up process
❖
Teacher educators participate on voluntary basis, yet
once engaged in the design team, they are expected to
be committed to the project and to promote the
findings/results among their colleagues
❖
Application form is a starting point and guideline, the
design team are (quite) free to follow their own route
