Abstract

In the Design-Based Research (DBR) methodology, the process is as important as the product, and each iteration is considered a sub-result leading to the next one. This methodology is being used in the TEEC project, to both study and elaborate solutions for Learning in Context. This paper describes the origins of the project, as well as the steps taken to conduct it, with a perspective for future work. The DBR methodology is presented as applied in the TEEC project (TEEC = Technologies Educatives et Enseignement en Contexte).
