The Creative Use of Media Online Course
          Jukka Orava, Pete Worrall

Abstract
This paper focuses on the design and implementation of a European Schoolnet etwinning course, 'The Creative use of Media', involving teachers from 27 member states in 2009.

​The course design was co-constructed by two media experts in Finland and the United Kingdom and incorporated contemporary themes, a pedagogical model and media rich 'content streams' embedded within a range of Web 2.0 applications. An interactive case study of two teachers learning journey during the 1 week course will be presented.

​The evolution of a new online'community of practice' established during the course will raise questions, regarding the future e-planning strategies for Arts Organisations to maximise the potential of new intercultural opportunities through social learning in the Arts.
