What is the objective of the eMadrid network?

The objective is to foster the research and development in the context of e-learning within the Government Region of Madrid. The project intends to achieve a rationalization of the research efforts in e-learning, integrating in the group educative technologists and experts in education through CT whose participation will allow to complement the technological capacity of the different teams and generate important synergies. It also pretends to be a showcase of the most important developments in e-learning, with the objective of making this field more dynamic.
