PAELIS project ensures students access to digital courses, while facilitating
teamwork and collaborative projects

More than half of the universities in Romania (58%) use eLearning solutions in
their didactic and non-didactic activity. More than half of the universities in
Romania (58%) use eLearning solutions in their didactic and non-didactic
activity. The majority of the remainder (meaning 68% of them), not using these
solutions, says they would like to develop them in the near future - according
to a study carried out upon SIVECO Romania's request.

One of the projects providing students and teachers' access to eLearning type
of resources is PAELIS, carried out within a partnership between SIVECO Romania
and the Polytechnic University Bucharest, and co-financed from the National
Plan, Program 5 - INNOVATION, under the contract no. 67/2007 concluded with
AMCSIT.

The project, launched in 2007 and completed this year, is supporting the
universities by providing them with a modular eLearning portal, that ensures, on
one hand, the flexibility of electronic management of the educational process
through administration facilities specific to a university, and on the other
hand, it ensures increasing the efficiency of the learning process, by providing
students and teachers with online evaluation and remote work modules,
respectively.

Other university centers in the country and abroad can also benefit of this
portal, as the system provides support for the teaching/learning educational
activities, as well as collaborative, knowledge and courses management
activities and the management of administrative activities.

"The main objective of the PAELIS project is to create a new, innovative and
competitive product, adapted to the requirements for modern education in the
universities, that adds to portfolio of eLearning products provided by SIVECO
Romania", said Cãtãlin ªtefan, project's technical responsible within SIVECO
Romania.

"A beneficiary of the PAELIS project is the student wishing to actively
participate in the educational process, a fact imposing the use of most various
means of communication, teamwork, resources' query and the real time transfer of
data, images, sound. The other beneficiary is his/her teacher, wishing to assist
him/ her in acquiring the skills requested by the technology era: inventive
thinking, efficient communication and high productivity", said Prof. Eng.,
Ph.D., Ana Maria Joºceanu, project responsible within the Center for
Technological Transfer for Process Industries within the Polytechnic University
Bucharest.
