An experience in UNED on building up a Virtual Campus

The paper describes how the DEMOS project (funded by the European Commission, 4th Framework Programme 1996) will be implanted at UNED. The proposal was born as an initiative of UNED as part of its plan to cover the needs of new distance learning applications to be used in the current and future telecommunication networks. DEMOS intends to design and develop a distributed learning environment for distance education scenarios shaping a Virtual Campus, where co-operation among teachers, learners, tutors and experts is supported in a very flexible way. It is focused on the development of multimedia applications for education over heterogeneous telematics environments. The applications may be adapted to the different kinds of users and the different infrastructures available to facilitate the demonstration and exploitation phases.
