Dear Partners,

I reviewed the e-book and as we are still not able to get a .doc version of this e-book (a final product of this partnership), I have some remarks to share with you:

  1. First of all, an editor of our e-book is written on the title page. As most of us know, further information about the publication of the book, including its copyright, editors and so on, is frequently printed on the verso of the title page. As for the editor position, our project coordinator was not editing texts, she was creating the layout, the finishing look of the book, so it is not correct to print her name on the title of the e‑book. This e-book, as other results of our project activities, belongs to each and every one of us.
  2. Also, the picture on the title page was way better in the MS Word document than after the application of the background (we already repainted the picture and saved it in case you would be so kind to change it, just write to me and Iļæ½ll send it).
  3. Furthermore, there are other PhD's in our project team, why is only Meryem excluded?
  4. The second biggest issue, the number of the project which has all copyrights (provided in the second page of the e-book) belongs only to Turkey. All partner countries have different project numbers. It seems, that our someone doesn't know that or ... ? We cannot present this result to our NA.

��� ��� �� ��� In this case, we can write the following information:
��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� Project information:
��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� Creative active learning material for science educators of vocational education
��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� Lifelong Learning Programme
��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� Leonardo da Vinci Multilateral project
��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� August 2010 � July 2012

  1. Also, during the meeting in Romania we talked about given this e-book an ISBN number. Where can we find it?
  2. If it is an e-book, why the contents table has no links? We can not navigate within the book. So it is a simple static .pdf document, not an actual ebook ļæ½ there is no interactivity.
  3. It seems that page 18 is scanned, because it is smaller in size compared to the other ones.
  4. Some links in the e-book are not visible and not working, because it was not rendered correctly (pages 15, 27, 28, 56-57, 62, 76, 77, 80, 85, 95, 96, 101, 157, 173).
  5. Some of the pictures have very low quality even for reviewing online (pages 32, 37, 44, 89, 116, 164, 165).
  6. In some cases the layout is different or just not finished (page 121 (References)). Romanian team did a very big job putting this e-book together, so the least we could all do is to finish it in an honorable way.
  7. There is no title of Table 4 in the page 188.
  8. My suggestion would be to include subsections or sub-chapters, because know, it is hard to find an article just only scrolling through pages and searching by the title.

So, all in all, I ask once again, because not only Vida, but also Christos and other partners have asked:
Dear coordinator, could you send us the .doc version of this book? I could correct all these listed mistakes and send it to all partners and they could print their own .pdfļæ½ documents or render with Issuu platform (as agreed). There is no other choice but to correct this, so that we can all agree on it.

Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Kind regards,
