DESCRIPTION:Marilyn Leask is currently Professor of Educational Knowledge 
 Management at the University of Bedfordshire. \nShe has initiated and mana
 ged a number of innovative projects focused on using digital technologies 
 to support improvements in education. She was a founder member of the Euro
 pean SchoolNet in 1995 (www.eun.org). In this seminar Marilyn will introdu
 ce new ways of working and publishing\, and opportunities for internationa
 l collaboration through MESH—Mapping Educational Specialist knowHow (www
 .MESHguides.org)—a worldwide digital publishing and research collaborati
 on project. \n\nIn 2009\, the OECD called for the creation of knowledge-ri
 ch\, evidence-based systems to empower educational leaders and teachers wi
 th the knowledge needed to transform models of schooling. MESH addresses t
 his issue. Through collaborations such as Map of Medical Healthguides\, th
 e Cochrane Collaboration and the UK National Institute for Health and Clin
 ical Excellence (NICE)\, policy into practice has been strengthened in the
  medical and health professions. The education sector has the technical ex
 pertise and credibility to do the equivalent (Concept to Classroom) throug
 h MESH.  \n\nMESH is a newly developed ‘translational research’ system
  involving educators worldwide in building a quality assured 'wikipedia' o
 f professional knowledge for teaching. MESH\, when fully developed\, will 
 use an innovative knowledge mapping approach to provide MESH Guides which 
 provide personalised research based advice and just in time learning to su
 pport teachers in extending and deepening their professional knowledge. ME
 SH provides a system supporting scaling up of small-scale research\, colla
 borative research\, online-publishing and system improvement.  \n
