METID's e-learning portal

The aim of the article is to demonstrate the possibility of building an interactive distance learning environment, starting from a "static" multimedia archive. A prototype of this model, developed by METID inside the "On-line Courses System" platform, is described with all its available functionalities. The criteria adopted for different user profiles are also discussed. Finally, several examples and applications are presented in order to demonstrate the strategic approach for distance learning education.
