VISCED, A Transnational Appraisal of Virtual School and College Provision


The VISCED Partnership aims to make an inventory and to carry out a transnational appraisal of innovative ICT-enhanced learning/teaching exemplar initiatives and e-mature major secondary and post-secondary education providers for the 14-21 age group (including Virtual Schools and Colleges).

Partners in the VISCED project are making an inventory of innovative ICT-enhanced learning initiatives and major ‘e-mature’ secondary and post-secondary education providers for the 14-21 age group in Europe. This entails a systematic review at international and national levels including a study into operational examples of fully virtual schools and colleges. The outputs of this work will be analysed and compared to identify relevant parameters and success factors for classifying and comparing these initiatives.

This initiative is open to researchers and policy makers, all outputs will be published on the VISCED project wiki.

An inventory of virtual schools and colleges worldwide publicly available on a research wiki. A comparison of European cases with non-European cases with elaborated success factors and action points. A set of parameters and success factors for classifying and comparing virtual schools and colleges. A series of in-depth case studies chosen from the exemplars identified in the research work.

This project starts on 1 January 2011 and runs for two years, until 31/12/2012. It is funded by the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission (project number: 511578-LLP-1-2010-1-GR-KA3-KA3MP).
