The MELT Project has been designed to provide users of learning content in schools in the EU with access to more useful types of metadata that will allow them to find resources that fit their needs, language, cultures and preferred ways of teaching and learning.

In this summer school, teachers are returning to look at what has been achieved in the MELT portal and to provide suggestions for further improvements. The main questions to be answered are:

  • What sort of experiences have teachers had with the portal?
  • How have they searched for learning objects and what sort of results did they get?
  • Is there any perceived value in teachers being able to add their own tags to resources?
  • What is the real use they made/want to make of the learning resources that they found?
