The eLearning R&D Laboratory was established in the Technical University - Sofia in 1997 within the TEMPUS SJE Project 07388/1994-97.
Mission: Our mission is to foster projects which develop multi-party open standards-based e-learning environments and to support research into the architectures and infrastructure necessary to support e-learning systems integration. ELTL will seek to develop a range of research and development agendas aimed at facilitating next generation e-learning across education and training sectors by doing interdisciplinary research and development activities in the field of ICT and Educational Technologies. Also the main purpose of the R&D Laboratory is to stimulate innovation in higher engineering education and corporative training by employing advanced educational approaches and technology enhanced learning as well as implementing global standards and specifications for learning technology (SCORM) in the real university environment. Through collaborations with educational organisations, government and commercial partners, the ELTL fosters the adoption of the next generation of distributed e-learning, mobile learning and information systems.
