3.2.2. Aims and contribution
– Why?
There is a continuous increase in the demand for technology
supported learning material, and especially so for material developed
for on-line learning. Most of this material is developed in such a way
that it normally is quite easy to change language and in other ways fit the
material for use in different countries. I.e. the field is very well set up for
exchange of material and for continuous cooperation in development, marketing,
etc. In short, we have a demand, what we need is better marketing
and simpler exposure of the material between the potential exchangers
of the materials. The intention of the project is to establish a major Nordic
and Baltic integration project supporting open learning resources online.
Apart from better quality in learning, the project will prove the benefits possible
by simple cooperation between the learning organizations of the different countries.
There will of course also be cultural exchanges as the materials often contain
cultural parts.
