Quality of the Valorisation Plan (Dissemination and Exploitation of Results)
Dissemination is being handled by professionals with many years experience in the area, and leverages on the experience of the earlier Re.ViCa project. The Dissemination workpackage (WP7) is being led by Sally Reynolds of ATiT, who led this activity in Re.ViCa: Sally has many years experience with newsletters, conferences and events including in particular MEDEA, Online Educa and eLearning Africa. She is working closely with Paul Bacsich of Sero who has many years of dissemination experience in and into every populated continent of the world, including via invited presentations and study trips over 20 years.

The core integral use of web 2.0 technology to underpin the project (not a bolt-on as in so many projects) facilitates the use of modern dissemination techniques including blogs and wikis. Staff in most of the partners have regular travel and seminar commitments in and beyond the EU separately funded from the VISCED project but (as in Re.ViCa) will use these commitments for further dissemination opportunities.

Regarding Exploitation (WP8), several of the partners are consultancy organisations with global reach who will be able to utilise the results in further EU and international consultancy work. There are also two universities involved (Aarhus and Leeds), both active in research and in training of teachers, providing another exploitation route for the knowhow

Ross Tensta Gymnasium, the schools in Sheffield (UK) and the Arsakia-Tositsia schools in Greece will provide a direct exploitation route of good practice "in" the classroom (real or virtual).
