The 6th issue of Tenegen Newsletter was published by Ken Currie (CAPDM Ltd., UK - http://www.capdm.com/capdmweb/app), please see the attachment! Beyond the project's news you find a very interesteing article in it about the ROA (Resources Oriented Architecture) of the e-leaning systems.

"It‟s not uncommon to hear course developers, instructional designers and e-learning managers come out with statements like “SABA does it this way …” or “WebCT wants me to do this …”. They are hostages to the technological. We want the teacher to be saying “my learning materials would benefit from this learning feature … so I will include it”. It is the job of the VLE to support the learning requirements dictated by this content. It is not acceptable to have the restrictions of the VLE to dictate what the teacher – the expert – can include...."

Welcome
We welcome everybody in our first electronic newsletter which aim is to inform about the Tenegen project activities.

This 24 months long project is a collaboration of 11 partners from five countries. The “transfer of innovation” will ‘valorize’ the results of two earlier successful LdV projects: SLOOP and NETIS. The SLOOP project (Sharing Learning Objects in an Open Perspective) demonstrates key concepts in e-learning 2.0; NETIS provides the philosophical, sociological, and pedagogical basis to support new paradigms of teaching and learning in the Information Society. The aim of Tenegen project is to establish an European environment of ’connectivism’ for VET teachers and trainers, to show the significant advantages of being connected to the n-Gen instead of simply ’delivering’ knowledge through virtual classrooms and Learning Management System.

Kick-off meeting
The Kick-off meeting of the project was arranged in Hungary, organized by the project coordinator (P0-Prompt) in Gödöllő at 13-15. November 2008. At the meeting the key issues were as follows

the partners gave an introduction, and explained their interest in the project
we were provided the main concept of the NETIS and SLOOP projects– aimed to import into our development (CNR, ISREG)
we were provided the main idea of Semantic Web/XML, to help Tenegen move to the direction of “standard e-learning”
we discussed the workpackages of Tenegen
we were provided with an introduction to the project management methods and the rules of financial reports by the representative of the Hungarian National Agency
the partners began to formulate the next steps of Tenegen development.

NEWS According to the Fanta Trend Report compiled by Bence Ságvári, Hungarian teenagers are exactly like their Western counterparts regarding their Internet usage. 94 per cent of 14-17 year old teenagers in Hungary use the Internet. His article is referred on the website of The American Chamber of Commerce in Hungary: http://www.amcham.hu in English, the whole article is published on the website of ITHAKA (the Hungarian WIP partner) http://www.ithaka.hu

EVENTS: “The future’s school – e-learning” conference was arranged in Hungary by the National Institute for Vocational and Adult Education in Budapest, on the 1st of October 2008. The aim was to disseminate the new developments regarding the National Registry of Qualification, to demonstrate the results of the digital learning content for the VET, and to discuss how the potential of the new networking tools can be harnessing in the traditional environment of the VET schools. See the details in the next part of this document.

Kick-off evaluation
After the meeting the partners were asked to fill in an online questionnaire to evaluate the three working day of the meeting. The Co-cordinator summarized the results in two documents, namely: “Kick-off minutes” and “Kick-off evaluation report”, and published them for the partners on the Tenegen portal. All presentations by the partners were recorded and published on the portal (http://www.tenegen.eu/content/video/videolist).

Activities
Project portal: http://www.tenegen.eu – a Drupal-based platform for the collaboration. We published here general information on the project, studies related the innovation to transfer, and started discussions for the WP1-WP2, and integrated a common vocabulary – called “Network Learning’ to develop the Tenegen taxonomy.
As a first step towards the main objectives, the Consortium decided to elaborate online questionnaire for VET teachers and trainers (for the target group of the project) to measure how far are they aware of the educational changes emerged by the new generation of open, social networking tools. How far are the teachers trained in using Web 2.0 tools, which enable peers and teachers to connect to each other, to learn from each-other while sharing and distributing knowledge and new ideas in the people-based networking environment.
The survey will be discussed during the next two month, and published online in March 2009. We plan to carry on the survey in Hungary, in Turkey, in Germany and in Italy, and to start the effective content development based on the results of the survey. Parallel with the needs-analysis, the partners are elaborating a common taxonomy in the new pedagogical model – the taxonomy of network learning – and design the five module of the Tenegen course.

Dissemination in Hungary
On 1st of October 2008 a “The future’s school - elearning” conference was established by the Institutite of Vocational and Adult Education (NIVE – P7) in Budapest. The aims of the conference were

to discuss the results and the possibilities of the future developments of the network learning methods in the Hungarian vocational education
to disseminate the results of the national HEFOP 3.2.1 project: “Renewing th National Registry of Qualification”

From the Tenegen partnership the representatives of two partners ISERG, NIVE and Prompt took part as speakers with presentations:

Dr. István Bessenyei: Network learning – opportunities and tensions
Mária Hartyányi: Network Learning in practice
István Kiszter: Establish the conditions of knowledge and learning network on the basis of NIVE

The speakers gave a summary report about the aims and objectives of Tenegen project. Other Tenegen partners, ÖSZJIG and BJMSZ send their representative to take part on the discussions too.

9th of December, 2008 a valorisation conference was arranged by the Tempus Foundation (the Hungarian National Agency) in Budapest, titled “Renewal of the pedagogical profession – in the framework of the European Life Long Learning Programme”. The main focus of the conference was to disseminate the results of the Hungarian projects founded by the EU in the frame of the Life Long Learning project. It was arranged with 200 participants from the Hungarian vocational and higher education. After the plenary presentations seminars in different fields were organized giving opportunities to show best practices and to generate living discussions related to the presentations.
From the Tenegen consortium the representative of Prompt gave a presentation on the seminar titled “Autonomy and responsibility of the teachers”. In her presentation Mária Hartyányi gave an introduction to the aim and objectives of the Tenegen project. Many of the participants (VET teachers, professors from the higher education) were deeply interested in the project aims, and they expressed intention to join to the planned activities.
