EU Parliament today voted to unlock public #opendata

EU Parliament today voted to unlock public #opendata | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
European Commission

 

EU unlocks a great new source of online innovationJune 13th, 2013  

Today the European Parliament voted to formally agree new rules on open data – effectively making a reality of the proposal which I first put forward just over 18 months ago, and making it easier to open up huge amounts of public sector data.  This is about the data that public authorities can lawfully put out there – a huge wealth of information about your public services, how administrations are spending your tax euros, geographical or cultural information, and the like.

 

There’s a huge benefit to opening up. Once information is out there, there is so much you can do with it. Today many of you are familiar with apps that tell you where you are and where you need to go – based on public data from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. But it goes beyond that: the boost from easier access is of the order tens of billions of euros. In short, this is an amazing raw material for innovation; we’re basically sitting on a goldmine.

 

But to make a real difference you need a few things. You need prices for the data to be reasonable if not free – given that the marginal cost of your using the data is pretty low. You need to be able to not just use the data: but re-use it, without dealing with complex conditions. And you need a wide range of data from across the EU, with consistent rules to make it easier to handle (like being machine-readable, not some poor-quality scan). And that is exactly what we are delivering.

ICT in schools survey – many children not getting what they need; teachers need more training and support.

ICT in schools survey – many children not getting what they need; teachers need more training and support. | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
European Commission - Press Release - European Commission Press release Brussels, 19 April 2013 Students and teachers in Europe are keen to "go digital", computer numbers have doubled since 2006 and most schools are now "connected", but use of ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) and digital skill levels are very uneven.

 

These skills and support for teachers to deliver them need a strong boost, according to a survey on the use of digital technologies in schools in Europe published by the Commission.

Neelie Kroes blog - Giving Europe the digital skills for tomorrow: our new “Grand Coalition” - European Commission

Neelie Kroes blog - Giving Europe the digital skills for tomorrow: our new “Grand Coalition” - European Commission | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
European Commission

 

Our challenge today is to give our people better job prospects – while also boosting European competitiveness.

 

Today’s businesses are all going digital and they all need skilled ICT workers. Yet at the moment there aren’t enough workers to meet that huge demand – we could soon have 900,000 unfilled vacancies, even at a time of high unemployment.

 

There are many possible reasons for this. Maybe people aren’t aware how attractive and enjoyable ICT careers can be; maybe our education systems aren’t giving them the skills businesses actually need; or maybe they don’t feel able to apply for jobs in other EU countries.
