Using e-Learning Technologies and Standards to Make Educational Content Available: The Organic.Edunet Approach

Abstract

E-Learning Technologies and Standards are emerging as the dominant way to make educational content widely available. Approaches to these technologies should be domain independent and easily adaptable to different contexts. Organic.Edunet aims at making content on Organic Agriculture and Agroecology widely available through a single point of reference. To achieve this, the project has adopted and adapted Open Software solutions and has built upon them to offer the Organic.Edunet Web Federation Portal and the Repository Suite of Tools. The present paper presents a brief outline on these tools, serving as a guide for all individuals that aim at establishing similar tools even if the application domain is not the same
