A series of e-courses is being conducted with a variety of learning tools and techniques: a Virtual World, Web 2.0 tools, a web conference platform and a learning management system. Emphasis is placed on the feasibility of the delivery of the integrated ...

The project aims at training adults living and working in geographically remote areas on a wide array of topics that concern them (among others, using the Internet, learning English for tourism, teaching English as a foreign language). In doing so, the project involves participants in mutual interaction and prompts them to create, share and reuse information. Ultimately, the project implicitly aims at providing useful lifelong education towards shaping the local mentality of the remote community from that of an overlooked inhabitant of a forgotten region to a European citizen, at the same time respecting cultural and linguistic diversities.
