The objective is to develop open systems and services to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of learning, facilitating transfer and sharing of knowledge and skills, and extending access to new learning opportunities, independent of time, place and pace.

Objectives in WP2003 1


Technology Enhanced Learning (FP6)Technology Enhanced Learning (FP6)

Lower technological barriers in the learning path, and offer new levels of collaborative, experiential and ubiquitous learning, supported with appropriate organisational and business models. Addressed are the learning/teaching needs of educational institutions, of companies and organisations, and the lifelong learning needs of individuals.

Integrated Projects will cover all relevant facets of the research, including technology, pedagogy, cognitive and organisational issues. Networks of Excellence are expected to contribute to experimental, longer-term research on new e-learning systems and paradigms, enhancing human learning and cognitive processes. All instruments, including Specific Targeted Research Projects, will play a role in promoting best practice, take up and dissemination
