Introduction
At last 10 years I had many works in the area of Search Engine optimizations (SEO) for web sites. I know and it is absolutely true on the base of my experience that the content of web pages is The King – very important parameter in SEO process.
Now when I and my colleague are working in the area of eLearning in Bulgaria and in EU I know and I it is absolutely true on the base of our experience that The Content of eLearnung materials is The King, too.
We can find confirmation of this point of view in the reports of The European eLearning Industry Group, Commission of Technology and adult learning – USA etc. So my assertion is not news and do not consist some innovation.
But how we can generate better eLearning content? This is the question!
I think to write good eLearning content is the same as to write good music as example.
In The World we have very big persons in the area of music. Some people love Mozart other do not like but every one understand music as “international” language. But when we talk about national folklore I am sure every one likes it. Why? In Mozart’s works are used notes and in National works are using notes, too and the note scale with 5 lines is equal. Where are differences? And why National folklore is loved for all and Mozart is for specialists?
We can compare the Mozart’s note pages and National folk’s note pages with web pages. We can say that only Mozart has read-write rights on the pages and in the case with National folklore every one has rear-write rights and every one can add, delete or change some bigger or smaller details.
This is the main reason National Folklore is loved from all, in National folklore content are implemented the smartest bits energy from every member of the society and from many generations. We can not compare the intellectual potential of a man, big man as Mozart with intellectual potential of the nation.
How we can extract useful elements from the example above and to use these elements as tactical units for creating smart strategy about producing e-Learning content and to Make Lisbon a Reality as it is our main goal here?
Here are the elements:
- Creating the e-Learning basic structure content (as note scale with 5 lines) from a small international group of specialists – equal for every country.
- Start to write e-Learning content from large group of people – international team.
- Read-write rights at the e-Learning content for maximum large group of people from EU.
- Write e-Learning content at the national language of every EU country and to duplicate the same content at English language as “international” language.
- Use English and national language e-Learning pages in education in every country.

History
During the past two decades, the level of information and communication technologies used in the field of education increased dramatically. The same cannot be said regarding the quality of education.
This report explores the ways to eliminate this discrepancy in line with the corresponding EU strategy and considering the challenge of globalization.
The Subject
The subject of the report and project are Increase of Education Quality through moving from reproductive education to original education and integral education via:
1. Wider utilization of existing ICT at schools,
2. The intuitive and extrapolative abilities of teachers,
3. Freedom of mind and thinking of the students.
This subject is realized through design and implementation of an Educational System, helping increase the quality of education on the base of Smart interfaces for communication and learning.
Experiment N 1
Experiment N 1 shows that by using ICT and sufficient motivation of teachers and students, an original curriculum can be outlined for each consecutive school year.
Experiment N 2
Experiment N 2 proved clearly that compiling original syllabus from separate school years and its constant update will make the methodology of education very close to the methodology of accumulating life experience.
Consequently, in case the method described is used wisely, the proposed Educational System will become more intelligent with every passing school year.
