EMINENT 2014 EFFECTIVENESS “The process of peer-learning in a hub seems to be the most effective and efficient outcome of LSL. As we live in a small country it is relatively easy to continue with very little costs.” Jens Vermeersch, LSL Project Lead, GO! Belgium Flanders “The new regional hub of Grenoble is linked to the national Ministry of Education current strategy “Faire entrer l’école dans l’ère du numérique” (Bringing all schools into the Digital Age), in order to develop massively the uses of ICT in education.” Karine Aillerie, LSL National Coordinator, CANOPE, France “… working with LSL we have been able to see how good practices have been spread throughout other schools, how other teachers have for instance set up e-learning teams, where some teachers train and support others. We have been able to replicate that.” Ciarán Kennedy, St. Patrick’s School, Ireland
