Environments for Lifelong Learning

LEARN image The purpose of the LEARN2 project is to develop resources, procedures, conventions and production methods for high-bandwidth multimedia learning, and its related knowledge distribution on the Web. An optimal format for lifelong learning of cross-disciplinary topics (based in the humanities) will be established and deployed in a series of actual courses.

The project takes into account that further progress in the field of multimedia learning environments must consider the formal shaping--the rhetoric and design--of the medium, and appropriate additional and closely-related pedagogical strategies to achieve optimal exploitation of the continued technological improvements.

The three goals of the project are: (1) Establishing an optimal network of 'incubator sites', or high-bandwidth multimedia learning environments, (2) Focus on the development and design of high capacity multimedia courses, conventions and genres for learning within these spaces, and (3) Conduct research and evaluation of the technological, rhetorical and pedagogical solutions employed.
