Description
Summary:The Iceland University of Education is currently directing the three-year European Union project InnoEd, which is sponsored by the Minerva Project. InnoEd is a cooperative venture of four countries in the area of Innovation Education: Iceland, Finland, England and Norway. In this project the course in Innovation Education is set up on the Internet (www.innoed.is) and the students work online with their ideas in real time instead of an earlier classroom based model. In addition, the participants have developed a specialised data driven website used for communication and teaching as well as storage and research for all participants. Here the envelope of Information Technology will be pushed to new extremes in the area of Innovation Education.
