Keywords Automobile engines; Cabri geometry; Comenius 2.1. project; Computational geometry; Computer programming languages; Computer software; Crocodile clips; Experiments; LabView; School buildings; Teaching; Virtual experiments; Virtual reality
Abstract Using Virtual Experiments become one of the main methods for Science teaching in actual Education. Their power on creating simulation-based learning environments is well-known and many teachers have already adopted the virtual experiments to be used in their classrooms. The great extension of the Virtual experiments determined 9 institutions to propose a Socrates-Comenius 2.1. European project called VccSSe – Virtual Community Collaborating Space for Science Education project (code: 128989-CP-1-2006-1-RO-COMENIUS-C21) coordinated by Valahia University of Targoviste, Romania which has as main objective to adapt, develop, test, implement and disseminate training modules, teaching methodologies and pedagogical strategies based on the use of Virtual Instruments, with the view to their implementation in the classrooms. In the first year of the project, three software products were chosen for developing the process of training: Cabri Geometry II, LabVIEW and Crocodile Clips. This paper presents the results of comparative analysis, made by the tutors who trained the in-serviced teachers on using the mentioned software products.

Title Hybrid method to design multi-language web sites Type Conference Article
Year 2009 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 427-430
Keywords Education; Educational comenius project 2.1.; Educational projects; Educational resource; Hybrid method; Hybrid sensors; Internet; Linguistics; Multi-Languages; Project website; Query languages; Spoken languages; Target group; Virtual instrument; Web design; Websites
Abstract Language promotes the most suitable way for expressing ideas, habits and values. For a multinational educational project (Comenius 2.1.) with a widespread European target group, it is very important to provide the online educational resources (courses, virtual instruments, etc.) through the project website, in several languages: English (as a worldwide spoken language) and partners' languages. This paper briefly presents three methods to create multi-language web sites and proposes a new architecture – the hybrid method architecture. In addition an example of a multi-language web site implementation is illustrated.

Title Teachers' computer supported constructions within a European virtual community collaborative space for sciences education: An experience achieved in a multinational European project Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 349-356
Keywords Blended learning; Collaborative spaces; Computer supported education; Essential considerations; European Countries; European project; Experiments; Finland; Information and Communication Technologies; Lesson plans; Online training; Personnel training; Planning; Romania; Science education; Teacher training; Teaching; Teaching and learning; Virtual community; Virtual experiments; Virtual reality
Abstract This paper presents some essential considerations referred to the constructions performed by European teachers in terms of virtual experiments and lesson plans within the framework of a Virtual community collaborative Space for Sciences education. This framework was set up in the context of the Socrates Comenius 2.1 European project: “VccSSe – Virtual Community Collaborating Space for Science Education”. In this project, teachers from five European countries (Romania, Poland, Finland, Spain and Greece) participated in blended learning courses aiming their training for the use of Information and Communication Technologies in real teaching and learning practices. Within this framework, on-line training materials and virtual experiments were created and developed. After the end of the designed courses, teachers were asked to form their own virtual experiments and lesson plans and then to implement their products in the classrooms. The analysis of the data shows that teachers who participated in the VccSSe Project encouraged by the aforementioned blended course, expressed a favourable feedback related to the implementation of their own virtual experiments in the teaching activities.

Title Teacher's perception on developing and implementing virtual experiments Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 133-136
Keywords Comenius 2.1 Project; European project; Experiments; Free of charge; New approaches; New teaching; Personnel training; School buildings; Teaching; Technological progress; Training course; Training material; Virtual experiments; Virtual instrument
Abstract Technological progress has allowed the emergence of new approaches to teaching. The virtual instruments development has led to lessons based on virtual experiments – applications that simulates real-life phenomenon and are specially designed for students use. Many virtual experiments can be obtained free of charge from the Internet, but their use in the classroom involves more than these tools availability. It involves the use of new teaching techniques and training materials. Through a European project, hundreds of teachers of sciences were trained to develop and implement virtual experiments in the classroom. This paper presents some of the expectations of teachers before the start of the training course and their opinion after the class implementation.

Title The electronic book – A modern instrument used in teachers' training process Type Conference Article
Year 2011 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 563-567
Keywords Best practice guidelines; Comenius 2.1. project; Curricula; Digital material; Digital materials; E-learning; Electronic book; Electronic books; Electronic document exchange; Electronic publishing; E-publishing software; Information technology; Management; Personnel training; Teacher training; Teaching; World Wide Web
Abstract Since Internet became in the last years the biggest source of information, the book concept has been dramatically redefined, especially in terms of separating of its content and the related support. Practically, when using the electronic media, a book could take a different look – the electronic book (e-book). Due to their widely spread in the last period, the e-books are one of the most effective ways to support distance learning (e-learning), as they can be read by thousands of readers. Due to the fact that the teachers have limited time for participating to the face-to-face training programmes, the e-books became an important tool for promoting different training courses organized in the frame of various projects. It was also the case of the three years Socrates-Comenius 2.1 European project “FISTE – A Future Way for In-Service Teacher Training across Europe” – code 118766-CP-1-2004-1-RO-COMENIUS-C21, when the partnership organized the on-line courses entitled “Integrated ICT in Traditional Training” and “ECSUT: Educational Challenges & Solutions in Using ICT” [1]. The best practices and experiences of the teachers who achieved the on-line courses were collected and help the partnership to design a web-guideline entitled “Best Practices Guideline for Educational Use of ICT Tools” as a final output of the project. The content of the European course and the web-guideline have been produced as an e-book format by using Desktop Author software application. In this sense, the paper aims to present the most important features proposed by Desktop Author software during the design process of the mentioned e-books, together with the main facets presented by the related e-volumes. © 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Title Using the free integrated technologies to provide online collaborative learning at reduced costs Type Conference Article
Year 2011 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1291-1295
Keywords Collaborative learning; Free software; Technology integration
Abstract Traditional learning process involves a series of costs related to the resources used and assumes certain restrictions to the lessons because of the way they are planed and deployed. Technological development has allowed the removal of certain restrictions, but it has also led to additional consequences, inexistent in traditional learning. This paper presents an analysis, in terms of costs and resources, which is needed in the implementation and operation of the systems that provide environments for collaborative learning, by highlighting some designed elements that can lead to reduced costs. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Title Web tools and instruments created in the VccSSe European project with the view to support Science teachers' experimental activities Type Conference Article
Year 2011 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1231-1235
Keywords Comenius 2.1 Project; E-Space; Teacher training; Virtual experiment
Abstract Nowadays, the presence of ICT in education became a common fact and its importance cannot be overlooked. Starting from connecting people and resources, ICT was implemented in teaching and learning on a large scale, offering a real added-value to the educational process. One of the most common implementations in education is strongly referred to the use of World Wide Web. In many applications, it is explored through its navigating functions or exploited as an information resource, but it has an important potential to be used even as a tutor. Specific web-tools, gathered under an environment called e-Space, – were created during the three years Socrates-Comenius 2.1 European project “VccSSe – Virtual Community Collaborating Space for Science Education”, which supported the pedagogical use of virtual experiments, as a new technology in the common Science teaching and learning process. The paper presents the instruments included in the e-Space and emphasizes also on its particular aspects, organized and developed as a web resource, useful for Science teachers. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Title Information and communication technologies in science education Type Conference Article
Year 2011 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1076-1080
Keywords ICT in education; Multinational project; Science education
Abstract The advancements in information and communication technologies (ICT) provide significant opportunities to improve teaching and learning. The use of ICT in science education offers even more advantages due to the attractive premises to simulate and interactively explore and test experiments which would be too expensive or too dangerous in real settings (for example in nuclear physics). The aim of this paper is to contribute to the research field of technology based learning by presenting several findings obtained during a multinational educational project (Comenius) regarding the use of computer in classroom, in science education, in Romania, Spain, Poland, Greece and Finland. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Title Aspects Related to the Usefulness of a Distance Training Course Having Moodle as Course Management System Support Type
Year 2009 Publication Diweb ' 09: Proceedings Of The 9th Wseas International Conference On Distance Learning And Web Engineering Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 54-59
Keywords
Abstract The citizens benefit of technological progress in an equitable and non-discriminatory way in the Knowledge Society. Being part of the long-term governmental strategy, the permanent upgrading of the access to information and expanding of the Internet represent the main pillars of the actions developed in the field of education. In this direction, the implementation of ICT in the teaching process led to the change of the educational perspectives and instruments. As example, the concept of e-learning brings together modern methods of interaction by using ICTs. Many educational projects have promoted and introduced e-learning as an alternative to traditional education. Even for teachers, the on-line training programs represent a good option to increase their knowledge in their related areas. In this respect, the European Socrates Comenius 2.1 Project “VccSSe – Virtual Community Collaborating Space for Science Education” (128989-CP-1-2006-1-RO-COMENIUS-C21) promoted the use of virtual instrumentation and experiments as new teaching methods for the Mathematics and Science teachers. As the training sessions were developed under the Moodle course management system, this paper presents some aspects related to the training process made in the frame of the project and other considerations regarding the usefulness of the distance course, taking into consideration the participants' opinions.

Volume I Issue Pages 435-438
Keywords
Abstract Using Virtual Experiments become one of the main methods for Science teaching in actual Education. Their power on creating simulation-based learning environments is well-known and many teachers have already adopted the virtual experiments to be used in their classrooms. The great extension of the Virtual experiments determined 9 institutions to propose a Socrates-Comenius 2.1. European project called VccSSe – Virtual Community Collaborating Space for Science Education project (code: 128989-CP-1-2006-1-RO-COMENIUS-C21) coordinated by Valahia University of Targoviste, Romania which has as main objective to adapt, develop, test, implement and disseminate training modules, teaching methodologies and pedagogical strategies based on the use of Virtual Instruments, with the view to their implementation in the classrooms. In the first year of the project, three software products were chosen for developing the process of training: Cabri Geometry II, LabVIEW and Crocodile Clips. This paper presents the results of a comparative analysis, made by the tutors who trained the in-serviced teachers on using the mentioned software products.

Title Hybrid Method To Design Multi-Language Web Sites Type
Year 2009 Publication Csedu 2009: Proceedings Of The First International Conference On Computer Supported Education Abbreviated Journal
Volume I Issue Pages 427-430
Keywords
Abstract Language promotes the most suitable way for expressing ideas, habits and values. For a multinational educational project (Comenius 2.1.) with a widespread European target group, it is very important to provide the online educational resources (courses, virtual instruments, etc.) through the project website, in several languages: English (as a worldwide spoken language) and partners' languages. This paper briefly presents three methods to create multi-language web sites and proposes a new architecture – the hybrid method architecture. In addition an example of a multi-language web site implementation is illustrated.
