LOGOS goals

The Main goal of the LOGOS project is to build innovative ubiquitous eLearning environment for almost everybody.

Some of the biggest challenges of the LOGOS project are

• Integrating a new cross-media platform for eLearning using the current technologies of Internet, mobile phone and Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB)
• Generating the new cross- media learning context with specially developed authoring studios using existing digital archives
• Validating a new eLearning platform by extended experimentation of its functionality and usability by end-users

 

LOGOS platform

As a result, within the LOGOS project, an integral platform for ubiquitous learning will be developed combining the usage of courseware objects from the LOGOS authoring studio with cross-media delivery through Digital Video Broadcasting, the mobile communication and the IP based commu nication channels.

Some of the most important impacts and benefits:

• Social impact for socially handicapped group of people to assure the access of eLearning materials using cross-media channels (especially using the existing mobile devices and TV sets with additional set-top boxes) by providing distribution channels between the repository of learning materials and the end users
• Economic impact to assure quicker and more effective training possibilities of human resources for new jobs, a more flexible HR market worldwide and countrywide when re-structuring of HR is necessary
• Benefit resulted in enrichment of DVB learning applications in integration with IP-based and mobile technology tools in order to benefit from the evolved functionality of web learning and mobile interactivity
• Benefit resulted in using digital object repositories by managing a mixed architecture containing knowledge databases
