Abstract

An on-line system has been developed for on-line education, where each student has unique study needs. In EVA (virtual learning spaces), each student pursues his own syllabus, advances at his own pace, starts anytime, and uses material delivered by EVA. Collaboration with current “classmates” and use of historic information are also important ingredients. Interaction with the adviser is both synchronous and differed. This article briefly describes how EVA starts its first serious use: delivering an MSc Program in Computer Science to 500 remote students, called evanauts
