Questions: How can technology best serve education in its numerous forms? Specifically, how can technology aid learning activities in the classroom? For example, how might software aid a teacher in the delivery of a learning activity, such as 'Citizenship' or 'Environmental Sustainability'?
Data presentation - The SILVER team is experimenting with different 'visualisations', methods for outputting data in tangible form to end-users. Visualisations include diagrams, charts, timelines etc.
Principal Researchers: SILVER is a consortium of 3 partners, Lexara (technology partner), Bridgeman Art Library (content partner), and KMI (reasoning partner). All 3 organisations are investigating a broad array of issues related to technology in education. Evaluation happens in focus groups (with teachers) and in the classroom with both teachers and students.
