This was a pioneering project on how to develop teacher mentoring skills by using<br />
ICT. Its main objective was getting a better understanding of how learning with ICT<br />
tools takes place in open learning environments and how it can be enhanced. The<br />
specific scope of the project was the role of teachers and tutors in such blended<br />
learning arrangements and the question to which extent self-organised learning is<br />
possible and how guidance and feed-back to the pupils can be organised in the<br />
best way in order to allow well customized learning for each pupil. The project<br />
therefore did not only have a didactic side but also touched aspects of staff<br />
resource economy and school organisation.<br />
The project activities were carried in four stages: First, to analyse the practice and<br />
conditions of ICT use in self-organized learning and the specific requirements of<br />
support for learners offered by the school; Secondly a guidance and feed-back<br />
model, the “Learn Desk” concept developed to improve students' results in<br />
schoolboy increasing access to the teachers during the day as a help-desk and be<br />
complementary to the availability of regular teachers for student support. Next, the<br />
“Learn Desks” were tested and finally the results were disseminated in work-shops<br />
addressed to the regional and national open learning community in both countries.<br />
Project results are available for download on the project website and the teachers in<br />
