Project: eLene-TT: European collaboration for improving Teacher Training

eLene-TT (e-Learning network for Teacher Training) is a project funded by the European Commission e-learning programme and runs from January 2005 to December 2006.

The driving idea behind eLene-TT is to improve the ability of Higher Education teachers to make pedagogical use of ICT, through the development of a Virtual Learning Resource Centre providing guidelines and resources for both teacher trainers and teachers themselves and through student-driven teacher training actions, pooling and testing tools and approaches developed by each of the partners in the wider European context.

Improved teacher training is expected to have a significant impact on the quality and efficiency of the learning process of students and of teaching staff themselves, fully integrating the notion of workplace training for teachers.

eLene-TT brings together a number of HE institutions who may be considered front-runners in the field, covering a wide range of ICT-based learning contexts from total distance e-learning to on-campus support and mobile solutions.
