VDSpace: The Kaleidoscope VDS platform

The Virtual Doctoral School (VDS) is a project of Kaleidoscope , a Network of Excellence which brings together European teams in technology-enhanced learning. Kaleidoscope integrates 76 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 800 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.

The Kaleidoscope Virtual Doctoral School (VDS) objective is to work-out and put into practice a common framework to support PhD students involved in the Kaleidoscope research domains. VDS proposes to Kaleidoscope PhD students’ opportunities such as punctual doctoral and workshop courses, access to scientific documents and means to communicate and collaborate.

VDSpace is a framework to support Kaleidoscope PhD students. VDSpace proposes:

• a homepage for all Kaleidoscope PhD students, enabling students to present their activities and browse/search other students’ homepage
• access to all the scientific outcomes of all the Kaleidoscope content-based activities
• access to various information: list of existing courses in research training and methods offered by partner institutions within the Kaleidoscope Network of Excellence, etc.
• a general Forum
• workzones (restricted Forum, files exchange zone, etc.) that can be created on request for groups of PhD students and/or senior researchers.

VDSpace is accessible:

• by Kaleidoscope PhD students: access to all general issues (workzones are restricted to the members of the corresponding subgroup)
• by all Kaleidoscope members: access to all general issues but the Forum and the Members functionalities (workzones are restricted to the members of the corresponding subgroup)
