European Schoolnet (EUN) and its supporting Ministries have developed a Learning Resource Exchange (LRE) service for schools, a framework for federating systems that provide learning resources, so that schools can more easily re-use educational content from many different countries and providers. eQNet is a Multilateral Network involving EUN and 9 Ministries of Education (MoE) or agencies nominated to act of their behalf. Its aim is to improve the quality of resources in http://lreforschools.eun.org that was launched in Dec. 2008 offering 120,000 learning resources from 20 providers. As a pan-European service, the LRE particularly seeks to identify resources that ‘travel well’ across national borders and can be used in a cultural and linguistic context different from the one in which they were created.eQNet will establish a network of policy makers and practitioners (teachers) to develop and apply ‘travel well’ quality criteria to both existing LRE content and that selected in future from national repositories. It will provide "a forum for joint reflection and cooperation” for network members, allowing them to:• Share information/expertise related to ‘travel well’ quality criteria (pedagogical, technical and IPR factors) • Develop new frameworks (including a network of expert teachers) to: - improve the quality of resources and metadata in both national repositories and the LRE - improve the multilinguality of LRE content• Enable schools (including those in the Commission’s eTwinning initiative) to participate in a Community of Practice related to the use of digital resources at European level.Results include: the development of new ‘travel well’ quality criteria; the practical application by teachers of these to >3,500 resources; ‘showcases’ of the best of these resources in the LRE; enrichment of selected resources with new/better metadata (including translations); a Community of Practice for teachers around these resources.
