Abstract

With the spread of the Internet and the Web, higher education institutions are becoming increasingly interested in exploiting modern standard information and communication technologies to provide learners and trainees with advanced services for tele-education. Within the European Union 4th Framework Programme, the GESTALT project has defined and implemented a flexible, component-based architecture aimed at supporting on-line discovery and delivery of multimedia educational resources on the Web. In this paper, we describe the on-going experience with the GESTALT system at University of Naples, and report first results of on-field trials during the first academic semester
