Brussels (BE), June 2013 - Are you working on technology-enhanced learning? Would you like to "test" your ideas and research results with experts in the field? Do you want to join a "hands-on" community of eLearning experts and practitioners? The HoTEL project has launched an open call to eLearning practitioners to help spot quality innovations that encompass concrete technology-enhanced learning activities.

These can be ideas, research results, teaching practices, and any other innovation that deal with using ICT for education at large. The most interesting innovations will be validated and eventually tested within three virtual laboratories in the fields of higher education, corporate learning, and informal learning that the HoTEL project, with the support of FP7, has set up. The objective of the exercise is to transform bright new ideas and research results into mainstream practices and to disseminate them throughout Europe.

The possibility of testing your "innovation" in real world settings through the laboratories is only one reason to join and participate in the call. The open call is also a great opportunity to showcase creativity and solutions to a large audience of innovation experts and stakeholders.
