Kaleidoscope is a Network of Excellence which brings together European teams in technology-enhanced learning. Its goal is to integrate 80 research units from around Europe, covering a large range of expertise from technology to education, from academic to private research. Altogether, it is a community of more than 1000 researchers in 23 countries which have joined in their efforts to develop new concepts and methods for exploring the future of learning with digital technologies.
Kaleidoscope is supported by the European Community under the Information Society and Media Directorate-General, Content Directorate, Learning and Cultural Heritage Unit, contract 507838.
