Objectives
- Ensure visibility of STELLARnet aims and results and to valorise the activities and the results of STELLARnet and to showcase the impact of STELLARnet among the wider TEL community and related research and application communities.
- Identify core groups of external stakeholders with whom STELLARnet will engage building upon existing links and networks and to enhance the understanding and integration of TEL research in external communities by expanding the influence and reach of STELLARnet outputs.
- Guarantee the involvement of research stakeholders (policy makers, TEL industry, user industry, teachers’ associations, teachers’ training colleges, students’ and parents’ associations, etc.) in order to support definition of TEL research agenda and aid the validation and implementation of research across Europe.
- Foster dialogue and collaboration between STELLARnet, TEL researchers and external communities and stakeholders through targeted engagement with existing and emerging TEL Associations, event mechanisms and related communication paths, including online interaction. A key drive is to foster involvement of former FP6 NoE actors and other researchers in the establishment of an open TEL research community.
- Collaborate with other WPs to ensure that key STELLARnet outputs are co-ordinated and in a format appropriate for the requirements of external TEL communities.
Many STELLARnet partners have a significant role to play in the dissemination and outreach to key stakeholder communities.
