  • Abstract
    Higher education is not only about transmitting knowledge; it is about becoming a member of an expert community. Contemporary tools for on-line learning can be used in opening the learning environment and making the learning process more transparent so that the learners can rely on and benefit from each other in peer-to-peer fashion.
