NEXT-TELL: Next Generation Teaching, Education and Learning for Life
Introduction
NEXT-TELL aims to provide schools with methods and software to support adaptive teaching, personalised learning and the development of 21st century skills in students.†
The project seeks to integrate advanced learning technologies in and outside of school classrooms with teachersí and studentsí practices relating to the planning of learning activities, the monitoring of learning progress, and the assessment of knowledge, skills and abilities.
Project Partners
Austria: Joanneum Research, BOC Asset Management, KMI ñ Tech. University of Graz, Talkademy;†Denmark: Copenhagen Business School;†Germany: KMRC, MTO;†EU: European Commission;†Italy: eXact Learning Solutions;†Norway: Uni Research AS;†Poland: BOC Information Technologies;†UK: University of Birmingham

Methodology and Goals
The core element of NEXT-TELL is the ECAAD (Evidence-Centred Activity and Appraisal Design) methodology - a set of methods and tools that allow for teacher-based appraisal/ assessment as well as self- and peer-assessment.
LKL Role
NEXT-TELL will develop methods and tools with and for†teachers. By means of a combination of researcher-led and teacher-led design-based research, teachers and students will have opportunities to influence the design and use of available technologies to support learning and assessment in and beyond the classroom.
A key role of LKL in the NEXT-TELL is to focus on teachers' professional development, in particular in relation to†teacher inquiry into students' learning†(TISL) and the participatory design of a set of tools and methods in relation thereto in conjunction with school leaders, teachers, learners and schools.
Outcomes
A platform and set of tools (methodological and technological) to support teacher-led inquiry and research will be designed in alignment with other NEXT-TELL components.
The TISL platform will include awide range of readily available internet-based technologies as well as TISL-specific tools for analysing assessment data and log file data.
