MVING wiki startup, a collaborative open editing web application powered by the same server software used by Wikipedia.

 
January - 2006

The MOVING idea, to foster the use of active learning teaching methods in a set of european schools through a Comenius 1.3 school development project (later changed to a Comenius school partnership under the Lifelong Learning Programme), first emerged in a Comenius Contact Seminar that took place in Alden Biesen, January 11 – 15, 2006.

 
 



 
  •  

 

The MVING partner schools mainly aim to motivate in each one of them a growing number of teachers using new, more effective, teaching methods. For that purpose, pedagogical approaches in the field of active learning methods will be, in a cooperative way, compared, adapted (to the specific context of each school) and experimentally adopted to promote active, pupil-centered, learning.

The
MVING project will also, in each school, deepen the sense of belonging to a community at a local, national and European level.
