2016 March 10 Development Task 1.1 -  Detailed analysis of existing PLE (Personal Learning Environment) software, identification of the most important features of the PLE

Analyzed articles on personal educational environments, as well as sites of educational services. The results of the analysis are presented in the document MOOC and PLE Analytical Review, as well as in an article prepared for the WMO Global Campus Innovations paper collections.
2016 April 10 Development Task 2.1 — Development of an internal system of categories and meta-information tags for knowledge bases with ECOIMPACT educational materials and courses.
Internal system categories were created for all courses (categories are visible in the presrnt structure of courses),preliminary key word lists for all courses were created.
2016 May 10 Development Task 2.1 - Preparation for the Workshop 1 for developers of ECOIMPACT educational materials
Presentation for Workshop and monitoring in Nizhnii Novgorod
2016 October 10 Development Task 2.3 - Analysis of the experience of individualization of the learning process

Individual styles of studying the lecture material were collected during the 2016 summer school held at UNN. The need for a combination of student independent work with work under the guidance of a teacher (tutor) is determined. A decision was made to use Bloom and Anderson taxonomies to measure achievement of educational goals. A decision was made to adapt the studied material by providing the teacher with various forms of educational material. 
A template form for independent work is proposed. Example.
2016 November 10 Development Task 2.3 — Development of an algorithm that creates a learning trajectory adapted to the current level of learner's knowledge
Several approaches to the formation of individual educational paths are proposed: drawing up individual training plans by a teacher in the course of communication with a student, automatic generation of educational paths based on tests, building a graphical course tree.
2017 March 10 Development Task 3.3 — Development of principles for the organization of individual educational trajectories in the PLE, including organizational and technical principles at different hierarchical levels.
The proposed approaches were tested in the prototype of the educational environment.
2017 April 10 Development Task 2. 7 — Development of the concept of the training, adaptation of the training materials to the needs of teachers, preparation of creative assignments and texts. Coordination of the vision of the individual trajectories with all project participants. Implementation of test trajectories at the organizational and technical level. 
A discussion of the proposed approach to individualization of training during four Skype conferences with the project participants was held. The proposed plan is approved.
2017 April 10 Development Task 3.1 – Consultations and training sessions which allowed to obtain a necessary level of knowledge among the project participants on possibilities of IoT (Internet of Things) sufficient for integration of IoT into developed educational materials.
Five online consultations on IoT technologies and their integration in courses.
2017 May 10 Development Task 3.2 - Development of the architecture of the data collection system. Development of protocols for data exchange between the elements of the system. Choice of hardware platforms for the local server. The choice of platform for the implementation of sensor blocks. The choice of platform for a local server system. 
Arduino and Raspberry Pi were chosen as the main IoT-platforms for learning the technologies of the Internet of things. Preliminary laboratory work options have been created and tested.


2017 June 10 Development Task 3.4  -Adaptation of data exchange protocols between the elements of the system. Selection of data processing libraries for the local server.

A protocol for the exchange of information between blocks of IoT systems has been developed.
