From the first steps… • PHARE ODL Network – NCPs and ODL Centres born as members of an international network – huge potential, still strong cohesion and collaboration, • Active, multi-level collaboration in that period – learning from operable models – both content development (ENVIMAN) and organisational aspects (UFI / LNE). • Jumping over some previous development stages, entering the ODL scenario the same time when e-learning nucleated.

Common strengths, innovative aspects Maria Kocsis Baán University of Miskolc, North Hungarian Regional Distance Education Centre

Common weaknesses: sustainability and joint delivery Institutional stability and sustainability SHOULD guarantee the sustainability

Common weaknesses: sustainability and joint delivery Institutional stability and sustainability SHOULD guarantee the sustainability of programs and projects – but the fact in many cases is just the reverse: • projects guarantee the sustainability of institutional frameworks and their operability Institutional sustainability strongly depends on personal approach of top management – scepticism, poor level of awareness in HEIs – „we have more urgent problems…” Joint development usual, but joint delivery – never beyond the lifetime of the project !!!!

Expected long term sustainability Operation of the system beyond the life-time of the project

Expected long term sustainability Operation of the system beyond the life-time of the project may be expected as • tasters are prepared with special care for being selfstanding, or will need minimised staff-support. • Human resources for tutoring can be solved as – recruited in unusual way, e. g. tutoring of learners groups can be the task of students at related courses, teachers on continuing education programs, etc. – ODL organisations may consider them as valuable marketing and awareness raising tools - worth to keep on operation.

Rules of the game • All taster courses are free for learners, for general public, offered in the languages and in the form, as they are developed by the support of the project. • No profit can be generated by selling these courses on-line • Access provided via the central, e. Taster site, as a guarantee of transparency Third parties may join the initiative, to widen the range of - translated language versions, - languages (beyond the 10 languages), - courses - new content development in the same learning environment Maria Kocsis Baán University of Miskolc, North Hungarian Regional Distance Education Centre
