Abstract

Development of the Lithuanian Distance Education Network LieDM was started in 1998 by implementing a nation wide videoconference infrastructure. While the number of videoconference – enabled sites was gradually expanding, other e-learning services such as WebCT virtual learning environment, ViPS video lecturing system and CDK course development system were also introduced to the beneficiaries of the Network. The paper provides analysis of the trends in recent developments of learning technologies and defines priorities for further improvement of e-learning services in the LieDM Network.
