PALETTE, European project
ePrep is one of the 14 partners of the PALETTE (Pedagogically sustained Adaptive LEarning Through the exploitation of Tacit and Explicit knowledge) project supported by the European Commission (FP6 IST Programme, EC Funding: 6 000 000 €, project period: February 2006 - January 2009).
The PALETTE project aims to facilitate and increase individual and organisational learning in Communities of Practice (CoPs), developing an interoperable set of innovative services, as well as a set of specific scenarios of use. The PALETTE Brochure is available here (pdf archive, 436 kB).
At the moment, the ePrep community, which has been developing as a community of interest since 2001, is becoming, with the support of the PALETTE project, a real community of practice. The "ePrep CoP" has been officially launched at the occasion of the 2006 ePrep International Thematic Seminar and is presented on this Web site.
