ITER 2010: Online guide to secondary school education and training

CISEMhttp://www.cisem.it/, Center for Educational Innovation and Experimentation in Milan, is an institution that deals with educational research, especially on secondary education degree.

For its research activities, CISEM, collaborate with organizations and institutions such as the Italian Ministry of Educational http://www.miur.it/, Universities, the Regione Lombardia http://www.regione.lombardia.it and Campania http://www.regione.lombardia.it and Regional Education Office of Lombardia http://www.istruzione.lombardia.it/. It's also an "Associate Member" of the Program on Educational Building in OECD http://www.oecd.org/ (Organization for Cooperation and Economic Development).

CISEM needed a tool for information and guidance - aimed at youth, parents, teachers - to help those who have to choose or recommend how to continue education after secondary school degree. ITER Online offers the latest news, with an accessible language to all and also provides an overview of all the new opportunities of education and training offices in Milan and Province. It also offers geolocalized search for schools and other guidance tools.

Reflab has developed for CISEM, ITER 2010, a web project that uses most of the data CISEM officially manages about secondary school and makes it easy to consult and use. The focus of the project is to provide the users with a very usable system accessible to everyone.

Reflab used Zope 3 http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope3 to pull data from the huge CISEM database and build a complete navigation on it. User Interface design has been one of the main drivers for the project.

The project has been developed in only three weeks, usign an agile approch.
