Evolving from a traditional distance learning model to e-learning

Abstract

This paper presents experiences from the course of Informatics at the Hellenic Open University. Problems faced and lessons learned are presented relating to the introduction of e-learning capabilities into this course that was initially based on a traditional distance-learning model. The paper discusses the need that imposed the introduction of e-learning infrastructure and procedures into the course, the steps taken and the students’ attitude towards these changes. It also discusses points where the GRID infrastructure can aid in the educational procedure.
