The basic objective of LeGE-WG is to facilitate the establishment of a European Learning Grid Infrastructure supporting the systematic exchange of information and creating opportunities for collaboration between the different actors.
The WG brings together actors with complementary interests in Grid computing and e-Learning from technological disciplines, pedagogy, government regulating bodies and of course students. It includes interdisciplinary consortium experts and promotes close interaction between the communities associated with them, so as to achieve in-depth understanding of fundamental issues underpinning the application of Grid computing for e-Learning.
Furthermore, the WG aims to accelerate the emergence of an Learning Grid Infrastructure supporting knowledge and technology transfer in multiple directions. We expect it to lead the definition of a number of closely interacting research development projects and test-bed demonstrations.
