National and school specifics as a prerequisite for the successful design of an e-learning system : the UNITE approach

Abstract

A part of comprehensive study related to the design and implementation of the Pedagogical Framework, which as an essential part of UNITE system development drives and guides the creation of e-/m-Learning scenarios, is presented. The paper elaborates on one of five components of the Pedagogical Framework related to national specifics and current pedagogical practices implemented in national curricula. Diverse aspects of national and school specifics regarding educational characteristics and existing practice were noted and analysed in order to formulate a common framework and make good use of the UNITE platform as well. Summary results of the undertaken analysis along with conclusion and recommendations are offered.
