Abstract

In 2005, the Italian Ministry of the University, has granted a financing to the University of Bari for the planning and development of the project "Advanced services for e-learning in Pug Ha". The research group has focused the necessary resources following a direct approach, integrating the goals determined for an academic environment with the fundamental criteria of the integration of "ICT tools" in higher education. The project has needed a careful evaluation of the relationship between quality, performances and costs. This paper shows the reasons of the project and the methodology used to fit the systems inside the Campus environment.
