Octaedro activities

The main activity of this company is publishing teacher education materials. For this, it liaises with an extensive network of experts both in schools and universities to publish state-of- the-art educational research and practice topics. This networking ability will be leveraged for many of the activities in the project, from contributing with experts who will develop guidelines and resources, to disseminate the project outputs among a wide community of interested stakeholders.
Octaedro also delivers specialised content repositories (SOLARI, Diario EDUCA) to universities, teachers associations, and individual subscribers, with different types of licenses, from the most open to the most commercially restrictive. This technology as well as the internal expertise accrued in its development and implementation will be deployed for the development of the different IOs of the project, especially IO4.
