  • Abstract
    I am lifelong learning while I am working, and you? Today, a student (like an influential person, an opinion leader, a trend-setter, etc.) uses many calendars side by side. Tomorrow, a lot of everyday activities might be combined and concatenated by the student´s own transparent calendar (wheather he or she is a project worker or part of a project organisation). This transparent calendar should be accessed by a desktop, laptop, PDA, etc. The calendar should be as transparent to the internal and external entities as needed by the user of the calendar. Transparency is a feature, which can link nearly all individual activities to a collective and electronic calendar. This paper can be understood as an idea for further technological applications in the field of distance education, e-learning, e-shopping or wireless world. The key concepts of this study are calendar-centric thinking and linking.
