“SCHOLA-21 is a highly effective support system for planning, managing, and documenting a cognitively and didactically engaging classroom instruction. This type of instruction itself represents the core of pedagogical innovation since the early era of progressive educational reform at the beginning of the past century.“

“This free online resource allows teachers to work with groups of students or colleagues to develop a collaborative project with other departments or schools. Project materials can be adapted to suit all abilities. This is a well-executed resource with free documentation to download. My early impression is that it appears to fulfil its claim to be ‘an information and learning system for good project practice.’”

“In the eyes of the jury, [SCHOLA-21] is an ingeniously and appealingly designed tool for supporting project work. It is very well suited for teaching media and method skills. Students acquire method skills in the area of project-based learning by using a project-specific approach and by establishing binding agreements on rules, objectives, and responsibilities. Students acquire comprehensive media skills by entering, collecting, editing, and presenting information as well as by using various computer-aided methods of communication.”

In a unique manner, SCHOLA-21 succeeds in virtually connecting learning and action.”

“The good news about SCHOLA-21 is that the internet is back at schools. After high-flying – albeit never realised -  plans by various initiatives at the turn of millennium to get all schools, or possibly even each and every student, hooked up to the internet, there now is a serious approach, i.e. providing the medium and filling it with content and a meaningful educational idea.”
