Ileana Trandafir
Abstract

Telematics for education and training as "a key building block" in the new information and knowledge society, has been assigned the role of sustaining economic and social development of Europe. All the presentations made (over I00), the demonstrations (over 30) and workshops organized during the Conference dwelt upon this aspect. The Proceedings of the Telematics for Education and Training Conference are a "compte-rendu" on the "state-of-the-art" in telematics systems for learning, with respect to both technological and pedagogical innovations, in an European and global context. Specific results of the Research and Development projects carried out under the European Programme "Telematic networks and services applied to flexible distance learning" (DELTA) within the Ill Framework Programme have been highlighted. At the same time, the Conference spotted the initiatives of the IV Framework Programme and the new Telematics for Education and Training subprogram.
