e-GUARDIAN - Syllabus V.2.x

Introduction : aims & resources

Aims

This wiki page aims at facilitating a collaborative synergic process for defining the syllabus on netsafety of the EU LdV e-Guardian project. Participants are delegates of partner's institutions from Lithuania, Latvia, Germany and Switzerland.

The resources are :

A web-based social bookmarking working group

on here on Diigo, we can post all related useful information on netsafety, such as :

- definition of key-words

- examples of quizz, pedagogical scenarios and other pedagogical resources

- related scientific articles

- other relevant initiatives

Guidelines for the syllabus

They wwere provided by the project's team coordinated by the LIA organisation, and specially the syllabus workpackage leader, ecdl.lt, represented by Eugenijus Telesius and his team composed of Renata Danieliene & Tomas Lygutas, which is complemented by partner's delegate Algimantas Merkys (LIA, the coordinator's team), Dennis Krannich (Bremen Univbersity), Théo Bondolfi & Rémi Lévy (APTES Switzerland).


These guidelines are :

1. Focus on e-safety offline as well as online, therefore always taking into account basic needs (such as password storage) as well as complex needs (such as behaviour in web2 environments).

2. Taking into account all key-points in this initial version, and considering these key-point as "objects" whcih can be replaced in other forms but which must stay available.

3. respecting the steps of user point of view (example : 1 start computer, 2 launch application...)

4. restructuring with categories and sets like in the policies of ECDL [1]

5. keeping as much as possible the existing phrases and formulations, only changing (merging, repositioning, pionderating) when it suits the next step of test/scenarios

6. Keeping in mind the final intention of equity between risks & opportunities proposing positive practices (opportunities, in an educative perspective) and preventing bad practices (risks, which creates fear), based on the vision of the slide 10 of this presentation of Anne Collier, which says that netsafety3.0 should be :

- research-based, not fearbased, therefore relevant

- flexible & layered, instead of "one-size-fits-all"

- respectful of learning culture : stakeholders in positive experience, not just potential victims

- positive, empowering : not just safety from, but safety for...

- full, constructive engagement in participatory society (that's the context of the construction of this syllabus)

Mind mapping for the key-notions of the syllabus

In addition, Rémi Levy from APTES has produced a mind mapping image to represent all the notions for the e-safety syllabus. You can access to the interactive map - You can modify it directly because we keep a copy of the precedent contribution.
