2 “This is our Time” heeft zich ontwikkeld van vrij gesloten e-mail project voor 2e Fase Voortgezet Onderwijs tot een flexibele multimediale leeromgeving voor intercultureel en internationale communicatieporjecten met een hoge mate van interactie voor diverse onderwijssectoren. In de presentatie op NIOCC’99 wordt uit de doeken gedaan wat de belangrijkste eigenschappen en factoren zijn die “ Time” zo aantrekkelijk maken voor docenten en scholieren uit zoveel (>50) verschillende landen. De rol van Informatietechnologie, met name de pragmatische toepassing van, staat daarbij centraal. Verder wordt aandacht besteed aan de consequenties die concepten als “ Time “ hebben voor het opleiden van Leraren- en ICT- deskundigen in het onderwijsveld. De dia-presentatie op deze CD-Rom schetst iets meer van de algemene achtergronden en doelstellingen van “This is our Time”. Het concept “Time” is bedacht en ontwikkeld door SMC-Telematica Heerlen en wordt sinds 1995 jaarlijks uitgevoerd in opdracht van Unesco.
