The project seeks to widen the training opportunities of science teachers by using important cases from the History of Science and investing on ICT technologies.

The main objective is to design and develop an interactive distance-learning website where science teacher advisors and in-service science teachers can locate guidelines and exemplary materials/ strategies conducive to effectively teaching and learning science (electricity and electromagnetism). The project will focus on developing exemplary/pilot training modules (a course), in the form of a Resource Kit for science teaching based on case studies from the History of Science. The Resource Kit or training modules/materials will be made available to groups of prospective stakeholders via a web-site that can help teachers to design and develop materials for their own students. Intended users of this website will have access to tele-mentoring and will be invited to upload on the website their own materials, so that these can be used and evaluated by other users.

A variety of activities will be employed for the attainment of the objectives of the project and the diffusion of its outcomes, including online resources, an interactive distance learning, a dissemination workshop, a CD-ROM documenting the project, and a network of prospective users at the European level
