6. Implementation Phase A (M16-21) with 100 pilot schools © Go-Lab Project - Global Online Science Labs for Inquiry Learning at School Co-funded by EU (7 th Framework Programme)  During this phase of implementation partners organized series of training workshops and educational activities with teachers  In this phase and in most cases the activities involved the use of online labs standalone, in some cases there were implementation of existing or already developed Inquiry Learning Spaces with minimum authoring by teachers 6

7. Implementation Phase B (M25-33) with 500 pilot schools © Go-Lab Project - Global Online Science Labs for Inquiry Learning at School Co-funded by EU (7 th Framework Programme) During this phase the pilot schools are using the system more extensively and at 3 levels  use the Go-Lab repository of labs  implement existing Inquiry Learning Spaces developed by the project teams  develop new or adapt existing Inquiry Learning Spaces 7
