Project Summary

Background: The Digital Learning Across Boundaries (DLAB) project addressed the need to align European educational practice with ways in which digital technology is
changing how and what we learn, and how we apply this in education. The purpose of this project was to promote digital learning across the boundaries of physical spaces,
across curriculum subjects and across languages and cultures, to facilitate collaborative learning across national boundaries. Over three years we adopted three ‘learning
across boundaries’ themes:1. Technology Outdoors: bridging formal and informal learning by extending learning beyond traditional classroom spaces. 2. Stem to SteAm: adding the Arts to the integrated study of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths creating inter-disciplinary challenge-based online learning resources.3. Technology Enabled CLIL: using curriculum
contexts to teach language competencies and cultural sensitivity with the aim of meeting the language needs of a diversity of learners.
Participants: Our target groups were lecturers in Higher Education Initial Teacher Training programmes, trainee primary teachers, in-service
Primary teachers, and primary-aged pupils across four European countries.
We approached our three themes in aspirational ways by involving local cultural institutions and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and developed a strategic partnership consisting of teacher educators, teachers, trainee teachers, school pupils and representatives from cultural institutions and
SMEs and explored how teacher education could accelerate innovation.
The project promoted digital learning beyond boundaries across physical spaces, traditional curriculum subjects, and languages and cultures through a variety of different dissemination activities such as eTwinning project kits, journal articles, an OER- website and three annual MOOCs.
