Lecture Notes in Computer Science- P24:This year, we received about 170 submissions to ICWL 2008. There were a total of 52 full papers, representing an acceptance rate of about 30%, plus one invited paper accepted for inclusion in this LNCS proceedings. The authors of these accepted papers | eKnowledge Repositories in eLearning 105 elements different course elements can be distinguished by different colors. A metadata search engine is integrated so that content can be searched for during the course creation process. Fig. 3 shows screenshots from different graphical elements of the platform. Apparently UNITE serves as an enhanced eKnowledge repository with special focus on collaborative and explorative learning along reference scenarios. Fig. 3. The UNITE platform 5 The Implementation of UNITE in School Settings In previous sections the platform s numerous possibilities for successful knowledge delivery and acquisition are pointed out. It is up to teachers and schools how they will make use of them. Consequently the e mLearning implementation phase comprises joint work of project partners and partner schools related to setting up the infrastructure planning creation and delivery of new and or customised scenarios as well as validation of performed activities in the network of 14 European schools. This section presents a case study of the e mLearning implementation of theories and practices in one elementary school the Spinut School. A team of five people was formed consisting of the school s headmaster the pedagogue and three subject teachers. Support in terms of organizational and technical assistance was provided by University of Split UoS one of 13 project partners. In the first two scenario implementations approximately 50 students took part mostly 13 and 14 year-olds . 106 C. Hornung et al. As any other good-practice project UNITE has followed a certain process in order to implement its theories and practices in schools. It somehow matches the idea behind Deming s iterative four-step problem-solving Plan-Do-Check-Act PDCA or Plan-Do-Study-Act PDSA process 29 . Aligning with the PDSA cycle UNITE s implementation process advances through four major phases including i scenario planning ii scenario implementation iii validation and iv platform and
