You might like to point out that we have UK government accredited certification that is backed by an EU Transfer of Innovation grant that has already certificated several thousand primary school children in the UK and South Africa. Assessment criteria for the lowest level certificate are at http://theingots.org/community/Bronze1 We are building open source web based supporting materials eg http://www.euro-face.cz/javascript/puzzle/start.htm http://www.euro-face.cz/javascript/ship/ship.htm http://www.euro-face.cz/javascript/pexeso/pexeso.htm http://www.euro-face.cz/javascript/domino/domino.htm We are planning to apply for funding to do a similar treatment specific to OOo as part of the certification project. We are also about to meat with EPICT who I believe have quite a significant presence in Danish teacher certification for ICT. -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications A new approach to assessment for learning www.theINGOTs.org - 01827 305940 You have received this email from the following company: The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
