On the 15th of February, 200 of students from schools involved in PAFSE project attended to the lecture about true nature of viruses. Prof. Robert Nawrot presented crucial and interesting information about world of the viruses, in the end students had opportunity to ask questions to the expert.

The lecture for schools covered by the PAFSE project was given by Leszek Borkowski, MD, PhD, Chairman of the Together in Disease Foundation. The lecture presented the most important information on the various preparations and types of food are used by people to support the functioning of the body.

In this training workshop, Dr Elina Megalou, Director of the Educational Technologies, Training & Certification Directorate at CTI DIOPHANTUS, presents the European Digital Educational Platform “e-me”, a collaborative, cloud-based, social Personal Learning Environment designed for pupils and teachers. The European, open to everyone “e-me for all” edition of e-me was customized in the context of the PAFSE project, to support collaborations and partnerships among schools, teachers, pupils, parents, local organizations, etc. The video starts with an overview of e-me, its pedagogical principles and design, followed by a demonstration of the platform’s main workspace, core functionality, and available apps.

e-me supports the creation of private and public collaboration spaces (hives), communication and social networking, organization, storage and exchange of files on the cloud, easy creation of digital learning objects, assigning and monitoring of tasks, creation of e-portfolios, display of work via collaborative and personal blogs, use of open educational resources, while it further provides digital “tools” to support teaching and learning. e-me, originating in Greece by CTI, stands as an official nationwide digital platform of the Greek MoE for schools, serving more than 650,000 teachers and students.

In this training workshop, Dr Elina Megalou, Director of the Educational Technologies, Training & Certification Directorate at CTI DIOPHANTUS, introduces Photodentro PAFSE, a European, Educational Repository, developed within the PAFSE project, for hosting, classifying, documenting, and openly sharing multilingual STEM digital learning resources for Public Health Education.

Photodentro PAFSE hosts (a) Digital Learning Objects (such as simulations, visualizations, conceptual maps, interactive exercises) and (b) Educational Scenarios, in Portuguese, Greek, English, and Polish, covering STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) topics, addressing mainly Public Health Education issues. The repository supports free text search, browsing by learning resource type and by subject, using a taxonomy of terms for STEM education, as well as structured search using multiple filters. To describe and index the resources, Photodentro PAFSE makes use of metadata based on the IEEE LOM specification.

The PAFSE project is an educational project that addresses public health challenges. The recording discusses its assumptions (pillars) and objectives, as well as the role of schools in the implementation of the project.

The recording is the first part of a presentation of the key teaching ideas in the PAFSE project. One of the pillars of the project is inquiry-based science education, which includes various learning activities that will reflect the nature of science.

The recording is the second part of the presentation of the key teaching ideas in the PAFSE project, which discusses project/problem-based learning and argumentation according to the Toulmin model.

The recording is the third part of a presentation of key teaching ideas in the PAFSE project, highlighting the differences between modelling and modelling and the use of science education to explore socio-scientific issues.

The main ideas of the prepared scenarios and their constant elements in relation to the three pillars of PAFSE were discussed. The tasks of the schools in the project and the role of the partners are indicated.

Presentation of the first part of the scenario “Planet of viruses”, which discusses: lessons 1-2 “What is a virus?” and lessons 3-4 “Their simple structure and complex relationships”.

Presentation of the second part of the “Planet of Viruses” scenario, which discusses: lessons 5-6 “Disease-causing – virus vs immune system.

Presentation of the first part of the scenario “The different faces of bacteria” and the lessons 1-2 “What are bacteria? Are there perfect bacteria?”

Presentation of the second part of the scenario “Different Faces of Bacteria” and the 3-4 lessons prepared as part of it “The Life of Bacteria under a magnifying glass – what is it like to be a bacterium?”

Presentation of the third part of the scenario “Different Faces of Bacteria” and prepared within it lesson 5 “The Microbiome – how many people and how many bacteria are in you?”, lesson 6 “Bacteria – enemy or friend”, lesson 7 “Bacteria in court”.

Presentation of the first part of the scenario “Vaccination – if and if so, how the immune system learns” and prepared within it lesson 1 “Pathogenic viruses and bacteria are everywhere – why don’t we get sick all the time?”, lesson 2 “Antibodies – the most sophisticated form of fighting pathogens. Why do antibodies sometimes go wrong with antigens?” lesson 3 “Vaccines – what are they?”.

Presentation of the second part of the scenario “Vaccination – if and if so, how the immune system learns” and the prepared lesson 4 “Panic virus – vaccination in the social dimension”.

Presentation of the third part of the scenario “Vaccination – if and if so, how the immune system learns” and continuation of the discussion of the activities planned for Lesson 4 “Panic virus – vaccination in the social dimension”.

The video discussed the concept of open schooling. The presenter pointed out ways to find partners, build networks, link the collaboration to the curriculum and carry out evaluation.

Fimik provides information on the E-me digital learning platform, pointing out its main features that allow it to serve as a collaborative space for students and teachers.

A short instructional video on how to set up an account on the E-me learning platform.

The recording discusses the basic settings for the appearance of the homepage, the ability to expand your own profile and searching for other E-me users.

The recording is used to demonstrate how to search for Hives and create them. It discusses the differences between public and private hives and shows how to create the former step by step.

At the disposal of each hive is a wall where group members can publish posts and comment on existing content. The video shows how to do this, but beforehand shows how to gather such hive members.

The recording serves to demonstrate the possibilities of creating interactive content using the E-me content application. A few of the available resource types are selected and how to design tasks is demonstrated.

An instructional video showing how to assign tasks to a specific Hive or to specific Hive members using the E-me tasks app.

The video shows how to search the Photodentro digital repository, how to filter, browse and download learning objects.

The video demonstrates how to use the Photodentro digital repository and shows some examples of these.
