About the ODIkS project

In the ODIkS joint project, concepts for open digital infrastructures that promote learning are being developed together with local school authorities. This is done according to the principle of ‘communities of practice’, which are scientifically supported in the project. The questions of a) how cooperation between local school authorities, schools, regional stakeholders and the state can be successfully managed, b) what the success factors are from a governance perspective for the sustainable establishment of an open digital infrastructure that promotes learning and c) what the success factors are from a governance perspective for the sustainable establishment of an open digital infrastructure that promotes learning are combined with practice-oriented research and consulting in ‘Labs for open education and local school authorities’.
