Training and Resources for Assembling Interactive Learning Systems

http://www.trails-project.org/

This NSF-funded project in the States just makes so much sense – have the univeristy students currently studying to be educational designers and developers work on actual learning content for the K-12 system. As the site says, “Through these courses TRAILS intends to have three major effects: to better prepare tomorrow’s designers of educational tools, to better prepare the teachers who will use such tools, and—by publishing select course projects— to generate new tools for K-12 education.” Obvious? Maybe. Innovative. Seems to me, definitely! – SWL
