2. Partnership:

3. Overall duration: 24 months The start date: 1st October 2006 ; The finish date: 1st October 2008 ; General Objective: The overall project objective is to produce a high level quality learning environment in an academic European network ensuring an open access to improved educational resources, as well as to the best practices Specific Objective: Implementing an innovative learning scheme for enhancing the individualized learning using Virtual Reality (VR);

4. Expected results: • Consolidated report concerning the using of VR and remote experiments in education • EILE & VR-LRC design documentation • Project web page • Enhanced Individualized Learning Environment (EILE) • VR-Learning Resources Centre (VR-LRC) • Educational report • Examples of good practice • Dissemination and valorisation products • Conclusive materials Target group: The primary target group, which will benefit directly from the outputs / products and activities of the project, is composed of tutors and students enrolled in educational process at university level, in electrical engineering domain. The primary target group includes also working people and/or unemployed people involved in lifelong training and re-qualification processes

5. PREPARATORY STAGE Overall duration: 6 months The start date: 1st October 2006 ; The finish date: 1st April 2007 ; Project guideline Document that states the main coordinates of the project progress including the dissemination and valorization activities time table. Web page-public section Provides information on the project aims and outputs Consolidated report A contribution to the state of the art which contains: - need analysis, - evaluation of each partner appropriate resources; - benchmark the solution using remote experiment and VR which are in use today; - instructions concerning the suitable solutions for existing resources integration; - proper organizational pattern of EILE and VR-LRC for sharing the existing resources

6. PROGRESS STAGE Overall duration: 11 months The start date: 1st April 2007 ; The finish date: 1st March 2008 ; Enhanced Individualized Learning Environment (EILE) “Tutor panel” main menu includes the following major functions: module-course information; student assistance; student progress reports, best practice guide. “Student panel” main menu includes the following major functions: learning information, progress information; resources (VR-LRC) access; contacts (tutor, students, administrative desk). VR-Learning Resources Centre (VR-LRC) VR-LRC consists of a structured, compliant and expandable learning resource repository aimed to give support to the students mostly for performing remote experiments by using VR applications. VR-LRC is to integrate already available appropriate e-learning products provided by the project partnership (based on an intellectual property rights agreement) Project web page (private section) provides access to EILE and VR-LRC

7. IMPLEMENTATION STAGE Overall duration: 7 months The start date: 1st March 2008 ; The finish date: 1st October 2008 ; Examples of good practices A handbook presenting examples of good practice describing the educational activities and additional material on chosen subjects implemented in universities, located in various countries. Educational report The report presents the results of the action-research analysis concerning the EILE impact on the learning process, obtained by comparing the performances of students that are using the proposed environment (experimental group) with the performances of students using traditional learning (control group)
