The work process consists in a collection of interrelated (in time and/or space) activities, performed by many students and some teachers to accomplish a common particular aim. Systems development under this organizational work perspective implies a strong emphasis on how work is conducted to achieve the intended activities. 

Description

In this project, students from different European countries use a “fish” template as a base for digital or manual artwork project. They can add or delete elements and reprocessing them in order to achieve the best result.

The artistic creation is free and the designers can add, delete or modify any element, but always maintaining the characteristic features of the template to identify the fish. There are no specific rules on how the image should look at the end. It is about each student experimenting with their creativity and exchange the creative project to other student from country partner.

After that, each student will convert the student's artistic project into another artistic discipline. Finally, all the fishes will be put together in a digital book or collaborative portfolio and be shown to the community.
 

Schedule

In the following table, we can see the whole of the activities* and the schedule of work.
 

*The aim of the project is to be carried out in more or less 3 or 4 weeks. The time spent on the project will not exceed 90 or 120 minutes per week. However, if it's necessary, teachers can include an  extra activity (optional homework) to improve the artworks or the knowledge about the main topic of the project.

Forum - Communication exchange

In order to organize better interaction with students from different countries, we've decided to organized the students in small teams. Each team will include one coordinator per every 4-5 students. 

The way of working is that students will deliver their message to the coordinator and this person is responsible for write in the forum in the space that the student of the team wants to write and communicate.
