E-learning UP: Challenging the traditional academics for web-based Teaching & Learning

Abstract

a pilot project of e-learning at our University which we have called: "E-learningUP|2003: a pilot project for implementing e-learning at Universidade do Porto" [1]. This project progressed gradually, starting from the perception phase of what e-learning is, followed by the development of contents, until the evaluation of the final results. In this paper we will present the project E-learning UP in a different perspective as it proved to be now a systematic and coherent line of development of e-learning at the University of Porto. We will thus show how the project evolved and was embraced with enthusiasm and motivation by our academic community.
