E-LEN: A network of e-learning centres

The E-LEN project is a project under the Socrates Programme which aims to create a Network of E-Learning Centres and leading organisations in the learning technologies. The E-LEN network will support a diverse constellation of learning centres around the world, have a strong capacity for developing and delivering pedagogically-informed technology for effective e-learning experiences and disseminate these experiences to other institutions.

Note: The option of participating with patterns and register as an interested person is closed since the project was officially finished in 2005

Main objectives

• Establish the necessary infrastructure and organisational structure for the network of e-learning centres. See the ELEN booklet: Design expertise for e-learning centres: Design patterns and how to produce them
• Identify and gather best practices, make a collection of design patterns, research roadmaps on e-learning and to enhance the dissemination of such results
• Produce guidelines for establishing learning centres.
