Project Summary

Trimedia is a project which aims to improve the learning experience of students by means of audiovisuals. Three schools of Germany, Poland and Spain, which complement each other, have been associated to achieve the following objectives:
1. To create an audiovisual platform of communication among different schools to broadcast our projects.
2. To learn the correct use of the technological material and the audiovisual language such as script, storyboard, sequence…
3. To encourage cooperative work at school and among the students participating in the project.
4. To produce audiovisual products related to the European culture.
5. To promote exchanges as an opportunity to know about the European multilingualism and using English as the language of communication which will develop the linguistic competences.
6. Developing key competences including personal, social and learning skills.

All the schools’ students participate actively in the two-year project although students aged 14-16, who are interested in audiovisuals and have good communication skills and fluency in English, are involved in exchanges.

The activities students perform imply the creation of an online TV platform with its logo, some cooperative projects on copyrights, schools’ TV news programmes which include a cultural aspect of the country, making a film, recording videoclips, creating an online cooking book and recording a cooking programme and making a quiz in which students can show everything learned during the project. To do so, students mainly work in group, made of local students or by members of the three countries, and use digital tools which allow them to learn the audiovisual language and the programmes to edit video. Additionally, the eTwinning platform is essential to keep students in touch when performing collaborative tasks.

The project will be continuously assessed because all activities will be assessed using rubrics, interviews, class observations, checklist, google forms… It will give us data to make an initial assessment, a formative assessment at the end of the first year, to implement the necessary measures to achieve the results mentioned below, and a summative assessment to see the level of satisfactions of students, teachers and parents and the success of the project.

With the implementation of the project we want to achieve the following results:
1) tangible: all the products made in the activities shared online (news programmes, tutorials, videoclips, TV quiz) and having a shared TV platform.
2) non-tangible: teachers get familiars with new innovative teaching methods, students motivation to learn and improve themselves will increase, improve the relationship school-families with their implication to the project and students will better manage their time and resources to perform activities.

Starting an Erasmus project allows the internationalisation of the schools which is carried out by means of spreading the project in eTwinning. Other platforms, such as the schools’ websites, the online TV platform and social media (Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram…) are used to explain the activities and results and show the outcomes produced by schools. To known in our local area we ask for the local radio and newspaper to spread it.

Finally, we expect that the project benefits the learning experience of our students and it has a long term impact and sustainability. It is given because all the outcomes produced are available in eTwinning and the website of the project. Some of these outcomes are tutorials of how to use programmes of video edition and information of copyrights that can be used to train new students in audiovisuals. Another aspect is to improve the digital skills of students and the bonds between families and schools. We also aim to foster cooperative work as a learning methodology at schools by integrating some of the activities in the language curricula and raising teacher’s interest to integrate audiovisual tasks in their subjects. Finally, this association give us the opportunity to learn from other school realities, such as methodologies and techniques that can be implemented in local schools, meet each other and keep in touch to promote collaborative or cooperative activities between our students once the project is over and give us the opportunity of implementing eTwinning interactions in the school curricula to promote learning in real contexts.
