eCMS
The eCMS project aims to support asynchronous
eLearning through an open, federated content
management system that facilitates the
publication, dissemination, and access to
possibly distributed educational content through
a single point on the web.
eCMS provides content discovery and retrieval
services for learners, publication and editing
services for content providers, development of
structured courses and management services for
course managers (course organizers), and
repository management and statistics analysis
services for administrators.
In addition, a basic on-line collaboration
environment is available to facilitate the learning
process through learner-learner and learnerinstructor communication.

Asynchronous eLearning overcomes geographical
and temporal constraints transforming learning
into a process that can occur at the
independently determined convenience of
instructor and student. Demand has been
developing both by corporations seeking to
extend the skills of their employees and by
individuals pursuing life long training for the
achievement of their career goals. While a wealth
of educational material is available throughout
Europe, a large number of institutions do not
currently offer organized distance education
programs. Furthermore, it is desirable to
promote existing distance education initiatives
through information dissemination.
