Abstract
OPEN ACCESS WITH THE FEDERICA SYSTEM Rosanna de Rosa, University of Naples Federico II, Valentina Reda, University of Naples Federico II, Italy “Federica” is the web-learning portal of the Italian University Federico II, developed thanks to a grant of FESR 2007-2013 according to the project Campus Virtuale. Free and open to all, created to provide unrestricted access to academic knowledge and to respond to one of the most consolidated requirement of the global edge, the sustainability of e-learning projects. The University “Federico II” of Naples, besides being one of the oldest Italian universities, is the first attractiveness for all southern Italian students. The percentage of outstanding students exeeds the capacity of the city and the university facilities are very limited: the university dormitories fail to meet demand, various university buildings are located throughout the area and are sometimes very distant from central services (administration, libraries, computers, etc), and classroom seats are available for less than 50% of students enrolled. To reduce the impact of these problems, many e-learning programs have flourished in different faculties. However, while these separate initiatives have played a key role in raising awareness of the importance of e-learning, the lack of a common platform, and the experimental nature of a lot of these initiatives, has made widespread adoption of e-learning extremely difficult.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
