It's always been a hard exercise for me, maybe even more than for you, to try to understand how the teachers in the JEM project think and what they want. We would have so nice possibilities, but sometimes “we” (the technical guys) and them speak a completely different language, even about the basics. A crucial experience for me was the program of the “repositories” track of the 3rd JEM workshop in Barcelona (January 2008): We think that a repository is an intelligent semantic database like TNTBase, whereas for a math teacher a repository is rather like a directory of HTML or Word documents with some educational metadata on a file server or web server. Conclusion: We need to try harder :-/ Thanks for this insightful summary!
