The Academic Committee of the Israeli Ministry of Education "ICT in Education" Initiative
Prof. Aviram, chair of CFE, was the chairman of the ICT in Education committee established by the Israeli Ministry of Education for setting policymaking guidelines for the incorporation of technology in formal educational system, in light of a thorough analysis of the nature of the new digital possibilities on the one hand, and Humanistic values and developmental processes on the other.
School As Communication Center
This "flagship" project of the Israeli Ministry of Education ran during mid 1990s and was lead by the CFE. It was the first attempt in Israel to found all educational and social activities in a school on the infrastructure of a communication network (before the emergence of the World-Wide-Web). The approach adopted was Humanistic, in the sense that all activities supported by the network were designed to enhance teachers and students autonomy and facilitate their self development.
