Popis: I-CLEEN, a project led by the Museum of Science of Trento (Italy), has developed and currently manages an information gateway of Earth system science educational resources. The aim of the project is to support Italian science teachers in setting up Earth science student-centred lessons. To do so effectively, the gateway exhibits the following key features: it adopts a bottom-up approach to resource development that relies on strong cooperation between science teachers and professional researchers (who also act as resource referees); it is subject oriented and enhances the multi- and interdisciplinary traits that characterise geosciences; it embraces the concept of open source, through the technological tools (LifeRay) used and copyright policies adopted.
