MINT Agenda (Swiss Academy for Engineering Sciences)

Description

A major concern in education in Switzerland (and most European countries) is the promotion of MINT-subjects (Mathematics, Informatics, Science and Technique). MINT-Agenda (http://www.satw.ch/educamint/), a platform and exchange place for educational resources provides school teachers in Switzerland an opportunity to find MINT educational resources suiting their needs.
MINT-agenda Switzerland is part of the national education portal www.educa.ch.
We supported MINT Agenda Switzerland in the conceptual phase but also by providing tech-nical advice and programming. One of the challenges was the subdivision of the educational resources in different languages (LOM-data tree) and the development of an ICT-assisted peer-review workflow to assess the handed-in MINT-offers. During implementation we used the following web technologies: Zend, ORM and Ajax.
