Educational Informatics Network (EBA)

Gate to the future of education, Educational Informatics Network is an online social educational platform led by The General Directorate of Innovation and Educational Technologies.

The purpose of the platform is to enable the integration of technology into education by using information technology tools and supporting efficient use of material. EBA has been created to offer suitable, reliable and right content and is still being developed.

While many digital source designed by MEB and educational companies volunteering to share contents are published on EBA, students and teachers will also have the opportunity to offer the content they create. Therefore, there will be a pool of source which will be open to anyone keen on learning.

This will also open educational doors to everyone and provide a basis for carrying education outside the buildings. So is to say that it will be an integral part of the educational life. It will enable students to be self-determining and self-learning individuals. Besides, once students are united under EBA, they will be cooperating and involved in the team work with peers all over Turkey.

It will be easier to move from teacher-centred education to student-centred education. As a result, it will facilitate for the establishment of a country raising individuals who don’t have parrot fashion and who filter and search for well-prepared sources, interpret information and create new information out of the current one.

Moreover, parents will be able to monitor and follow the quality of education provided to their children on EBA thereby contributing to the improvement and quality of education and have a bigger role than previous one. Now, we will be responsible for the education as a society, our contributions will grow and we will have to opportunity to shape our own future.

Having these above-mentioned characteristics, EBA is a candidate for offering opportunity for education contributed equally, to our students and the world in a broader sense, which is the main purpose of FATIH Project in Education. Covering all shareholders of education, EBA will grow, become stronger and develop thanks to all your contribution.
