Educator Access to Services in the Electronic Landscape

The project will explore technologies which can be brought together to offer course constructors an environment in which they can readily combine existing learning objects to create new online educational offerings.This two-year project was launched in February 2000 under the 5th framework (Information Societies Technology) programme of the European Commission and addresses the concerns of the EC white paper 'Teaching and Learning: Towards the Learning Society'.
