eLearning - Description of projects selected in 2005
Virtual campuses
eduGI - Reuse and sharing of e-Learning courses in GI Science education
Many European GI (GeoInformatics) institutes have digital teaching
material available. Some already have introduced e-Learning. The project
idea is to (re)use existing resources by the exchange of e-Learning
courses via the internet. This improves
- Quality of teaching material
- Access to international GI know-how and new topics that the
receiving institutes could not offer to their students by own resources
- Virtual mobility of teachers and students across seven European
countries
- Re-use of resources already invested in e-Learning (personnel and
finances) by a good practice organizational model for sustainable and
future-oriented exploitation
- Implementation of the Bologna process by international cooperation
of European GI institutes, based on the existing networks
- E-Learning of non-GI institutes by best-practice examples.

eLene-EE - Creating models for efficient use of elearning
- introducing
economics of elearning
The economics of e-learning was identified as a key priority at the
Virtual Campuses consultation workshop held in Brussels on 23 November
2004. In this spirit this project aims to increase knowledge concerning
the incentives to create virtual campuses and to initiate teaching methods
in education based on ICT and its effects, ensuring that this is
efficiently carried out while reflecting the various situations from the
partner universities.

E-MOVE - An Operational Conception of Virtual Mobility
This project will focus on four separate types, models and scenarios
for organising Virtual Mobility (VM):
- Organising a pool of international courses: choosing courses from
different foreign institutions
- Building a Virtual Community: creating VM in the framework of an
international learning experience by ICT within a course
- Creating an international virtual space for joint courses and joint
programmes with international partners
- Facilitating European access to suitable and relevant courses for
continuing professional training and development (CPT/CPD).

E-Urbs - European Master in Comparative Urban Studies
The main objectives of the project are:
- to strategically deploy a long lasting experience of the partners in
online teaching aimed at further consolidating it at graduate and post-graduate
level into a "virtual campus" like arrangement;
- to institutionalise a curricula of 60 ECTS in Comparative Urban
Studies with an extensive online teaching (and tutoring) aimed at
encouraging and facilitating the physical and virtual mobility between
higher education systems and institutions across Europe fostering the
Bologna process and the institutionalisation of a European Higher
Education area;
- to use an innovative ODL learning environment for higher education
(© Land of Learning) to monitor the effects on the interactive process
and the use of learning objects;
- to disseminate and exchange good practices both among the partner
universities, in the networks within which the partners are embedded and
at major events.
E-Urbs will be the first "virtual campus" like arrangement in the field
in Europe.

EVENE - Erasmus Virtual Economics & Management Studies Exchange
The main objectives of the EVENE project (Erasmus Virtual Economics &
Management Studies Exchange) is to create a core network of traditional
European higher education institutions operating in the specialised field
of Economics and Management studies able to effectively contribute to the
better-quality pan-European educational initiatives through virtual
student mobility realised through distance forms of study using an
eLearning approach.

EVICAB - European Virtual Campus for Biomedical Engineering
The objective of the proposal is to develop, build up and evaluate
sustainable, dynamical solutions for virtual mobility and e-learning that,
according to the Bologna process,
- mutually support the harmonization of the European higher education
programmes,
- improve the quality of and comparability between the programmes,
- advance the post-graduate studies, qualification and certification.
These practices will be developed, piloted and evaluated in the field
of biomedical engineering and medical physics. Important goal is that
these approaches and mechanisms for virtual e-learning can be extended and
transferred from this project also to other disciplines to promote virtual
student and teacher mobility and credit transfer between European
universities.

VENUS - Virtual and E-mobility for Networking Universities in Society
VENUS aims to internationalise prestigious courses, with international
scope and importance, in each member university through virtual mobility,
open to both students and citizens. The content will focus on promoting
European citizenship, collaboration and personal development.
VENUS aims to implement two different models of international virtual
seminars and evaluate their sustainability. VENUS aims to enhance
international clusters of educational institutions each strongly embedded
in regional networks, in order to stimulate inclusion of citizens. Through
the elaboration of the contents on two levels the European identity will
be enhanced and at the same time local aspects will be valued. VENUS aims
to become a world-class example of cross-border collaboration between
higher education organisations, businesses and citizens. The overall
objective is to create a sustainable best-practice example of the "Faculty
of Extension", extended both in the sense of methods and target public.
