Including the excluded thanks to easy e-learning - Information Society Technologies
Piloted online distance learning services from IST project Fellows for disadvantaged people with low education levels and no easy access to education and training are helping to bridge the digital divide and re-integrate people into the labour market. Training institutions in Austria, France, Germany and the UK set up a pilot environment to help socially fragile groups to develop vocational skills, personal confidence and commitment to lifelong learning. The pilots were based around Fellows’ Open Distance Learning Platform (ODLP), "which aims to enable and facilitate the online training process, from training course design to tutoring and monitoring of trainees, and course administration," says Gerhard Zahrer of the Berufsförderungsinstitut Oberösterreich (BFI), Austria.
