The first step was the development of a model for the use and dissemination of eLearning concepts and tools within the BITNET network. In an early stage of the project the vision was already stated that "BITNET will be used as a generic platform for identification, evaluation and testing of ICT tools that can support local requirements".

The overall aim and purpose of such a platform in the context of eLearning is thus the integration of eLearning into the concepts of everydays business structure.

This particular purpose in mind a model for a BITNET eLearning platform was developed with its target groups and its functionality.



It covers recent research findings about the different eLearning components, structures the needed functions for such a platform in different levels and supplies application scenarios for all different target groups how they can make use of this platform.

For a detailed description of the model and its functionality and possible application scenarios have a look at this Presentation given in Agerskov, Denmark on 14th June 2001.
