Edumeres.net (Educational Media Research), the Georg Eckert Insti¬tute's portal for international educational media research, is now offi¬cially online with a new layout and design.
This is the next step in the development of a key virtual centre in the network of this research field, following the test phase initiated in January. Alongside current information and electronic publications, it provides access to specific topics and research relating to educational media, particularly textbooks.
Over the next few months, a virtual working and research environ¬ment will evolve in which research questions may be collaboratively discussed and investigated, with support from the German Research Foundation (DFG). The results deriving from this will be secured in the long term in a quotable format within the publications section of the portal, where they are freely accessible. As a working tool, the virtual working and research environment provides, alongside key word processing tools, a variety of reliable community-based Web2.0 functions such as a forum, blog and comment service, as well as a sophisticated file repository. This is intended to contribute to a con¬sistent, research-orientated expansion of the portal's contents while maintaining a high level of quality, thus focusing and exponentiating scholarly findings from the disciplinary and worldwide network of in¬ternational educational media research.
The Edumeres editorial team invites anyone with an interest in re¬search on textbooks and educational media to use this virtual working and research environment, even now in its trial phase, to assess its efficiency and to give us any ideas you might have for its further im¬provement. We are more than open to your feedback, desiderata and suggestions.
