ACTIVITIES REPORT
Partners' Institution:
Wilsthorpe Business and Enterprise College
Project's period (from/to):
May 2008 - October 2008
WPs concerned:
WP 2 - Creation of Database
Objectives of activities carried out:
Creation of a database of 30 documents relevant to the project
Time period:
May 2008 - September 2008
Description of activities carried out:
WP 2
1) Internet research to identify documents, books, web sites etc
relevant to the project, many of which were used to produce the
UK report for WP1
2) Discussions with contacts made during production of UK report for
suggestions of other relevant material
3) After relevant material identified, reviews undertaken and reports
written using agreed format
Outcomes:
1) 30 relevant reports/summaries written using the recommended format
2) Database documents selected have been carefully chosen in a variety
of formats - research reports / articles, web sites, training
modules, TV programme, newspaper reports etc, all aimed at giving
teachers helpful background information about the problem and
potential solutions
Evaluation of the work undertaken:
With hindsight, I should have written reviews as soon as material was identified, whilst writing the UK national report. Having to go back unfortunately delayed database production beyond the deadline.
Report format practical and easy to use.
Testing of database by colleagues produced positive responses for the usefulness of the documents.
