The document outlines the structure and design approach for the European Women Interactive Learning (EWIL) website. It discusses the originally designed structure versus the current structure, with sections for general information, partners, calendar, newsletters, photos/videos, and links. The presentation of the website is aimed to have a solid identity, easy navigation between sections with minimal menus, and balance simplicity with adequate information. Partners' involvement in providing updates and content is noted to be minor. Suggestions are requested on the forum, social media integration, and partners' views of the website.
ICT role in 21st century education and it's challenges.
