Promoting E-Learning Research and Application Scenarios in Europe
(September 2004)
Abstract
Despite the large number of efforts European research still is quite heterogeneous in the area of technology enhanced professional learning. The Network of Excellence in professional learning (PROLEARN) aims at bridging the existing gap between academic efforts and industrial needs to facilitate research results in industrial eLearning applications. Its research activities in seven identified key areas are complemented by the PROLEARN virtual competence center used to spread excellence through European companies, thus acting as intermediary between research and economy. Focusing on the educational aspects and providing high-level education, the PROLEARN Academy coordinates the research activities, guided by an ongoing roadmapping effort and resulting in a new understanding of co-operation among the various involved parties.
