Abstract

This work presents an integrated information system to
support Open Distance Learning activities for tutors of
special social groups. All applications and services are
implemented based on Internet Technologies that allow
the asynchronous cooperation between users, flexible
and secure data management, offering advanced
communication facilities. We propose an ODL tool that
will be able to support tutors and professionals working
at different institutions and organizations, especially
those unable to attend long term training courses. The
system includes a Database where all relevant data
about organizations in Greece offering vocational and
lifelong training programs can be found and
individuals professionally involved in such activities as
trainers. The user can attend asynchronous lessons
(with video or sound), communicate with the
responsible tutor and at the same time consult a library,
the glossary or fill in a evaluation report.
