The goal of the ALS project is to provide the technological means through which lack of (or limited amounts of) face-to-face contact between instructors and learners, as well as amongst learners can be partially compensated for.

The target groups (involved and end users) of this project are students/learners and teachers/instructors, ODL institution, e-learning industry and e-learning researchers.

1. Requirements analysis: delivering of reports that explore the state-of-the-art in existing technologies and systems, identify the needs and requirements of the envisaged software.
2. Component development and integration: reporting the specification of the software.
3. Case studies and evaluation: evaluation / case-study plans, defining the core of the project’s evaluation approach and case studies respectively. The results will also be published at national, European and International conferences.
4. Best practice reports: the project results will be consolidated into a series of ‘Best Practices’ reports, which will provide guidance on how the principles and technologies developed by the project can be applied to enhance distance-learning processes, the organisational and technical prerequisites for their employment, and the results that can be anticipate. As these are important dissemination documents they will also be available in all local languages of the participating partners (i.e., BG, DE, EN, NL, RO).
5. Dissemination and exploitation
   

At the end of two years the project’s main outputs will include software technologies developed, freely available, a series of ‘Best Practices’ reports and papers that will accumulate the project’s acquired knowledge and experience in integrating this technologies into existing Open Distance Learning (ODL) and blended learning settings. The technologies that are developed by the project are of a novel nature and are requiring research.
