Starfish design is based on the TPACK model
Searching in Starfish leads to a structured information about technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge on the query connecting it to one or more available course designs associated to the query (Good practice) and to the person (Person) who has developed and applied one teaching design in practice or to the people who worked on an education innovation project (Projects) dealing with the query. It also leads to a list of events (Events) such as educational meetings with guest speakers or professional development workshops connected to the query.
Starfish is open source and open content.
Starfish Beta was developed in a project STEEP (Supporting Technology Enhanced Education Projects), funded by University of Amsterdam, ICTO fonds 2012-2013.
