Open Education Smart Campus – technological development of an educational platform

Abstract

Currently, digital technologies are an effective and prevalent means for communication, interaction and information sharing in different sectors of society. In education, technological tools are used for a multiplicity of objectives and contexts, for research, teaching and learning. An educational platform can promote debate between different actors and bring together knowledge, multidisciplinary experiences and educational resources, following open science principles. In this article, we describe the development process of the OESC Platform, which aims to be an educational platform for researchers, teachers, students, media, politicians and the public in general. We present its main areas and features, which include a content repository, social area and e-learning tools.
