Virtual Knowledge Train

The ACCENT T&E e-learning strategy has guided the scientific community towards the creation of open-source online learning material and learning tools for everybody, in particular for university and school teachers. The challenge has been to develop understandable, unbiased and high-quality scientific content based on knowledge available from ACCENT and other ongoing European research projects.
The multimedia and e-learning environment developed in ACCENT can be viewed as a "Virtual Knowledge Train" carrying tools that were developed by institutions involved in the project.
