Abstract
Usually, the elaboration of a bachelor’s/master’s thesis is a solitary effort of the student, under the supervision of the coordinating professor. The thesis research idea is the result of the interaction between the same two actors, as such it is being limited by factors like: the student’s research capacity; the professor’s expertise; the financial and technological resources, etc. A possible solution for the above-mentioned problem is the development of a national or even international electronic research and learning environment, meant to facilitate the connection between all possible stakeholders in the elaboration of bachelor’s/master’s theses: students, professors, universities, entities interested in innovation/research and publishers. The paper presents an operation model tailored to some basic concepts of modern education, such as: multidisciplinary collaboration, the anchoring in the market’s needs or the use of online tools. The online platform outlined in the paper aims to facilitate: establishing and saving research and learning objectives and documents; classic, video and holography conferencing; real-time support from coordinating professors; distance teaching or learning tasks’ management. The paper might contribute to the development of new sets of methods, modes of operation, spaces and procedures for the research and learning alleged efforts to elaborate bachelor’s/master’s theses or even PhD theses.
