Hvert land rapporterer årlig om status og utviklingstrekk på feltet IKT i utdanning. Landsrapportene utgjør en sentral del
av portalen, og er søkbare på tema. De danner dessuten utgangspunkt for ulike analyser og samlerapporter som EUN publiserer.
The service is provided in close collaboration with EUN consortium members, its Steering Committee (represented by Ministries of Education) and the Policy and Innovation committee (represented by Ministries of Education, ICT in education agencies and inspectorates). Insight has also established international relationships and works on information exchange and common projects with the consortium of school networking CoSN in the U.S. and the education network EDNA in Australia.
The insight approach is based on a regular information exchange with key actors in the field, analysis of information and research results, compiling and valorising data from elearning projects, making use of peer learning approaches, and providing tools and services for policy makers and practitioners.
At the core of the portal are country reports on ICT in education. These are updated annually with Ministries of Education in 28 countries according to a common framework provided by EUN. They are in-depth descriptions of national developments in six core areas of eLearning: Trends in Education and ICT, ICT Policy, ICT Practice, Content and Services, Teacher Education for ICT and Infrastructure.
The reports are provided in a detailed and summary version, stored in a KMS, and are searchable by topics of interest. According to their information needs users can look at one specific country or investigate one topic horizontally across countries of interest. An evaluation of the reports shows that they are used by Ministries of Education for a variety of purposes mainly to investigate a specific issue or topic, internal briefings and sharing with colleagues and the preparation of visits to another country. The information in the country reports is analysed and fed into a yearly trend and issue paper provided to Ministries of Education and other stakeholders.
