Recent projects

  • IntelLEO - INTELLIGENT LEARNING EXTENDED ORGANIZATIONS   (2009-2012)  -  A 3-year international ICT project, funded by the European Commission under its Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) (project No. 231590). It is a Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP) in the area of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). The project objective is to develop intelligent technologies to support learning and knowledge-building activities in an Intelligent Learning Extended Organization (IntelLEO).
  • M.Sc. CURRICULUM IN E-LEARNING   (2007-2009)  -  A 2-year international project, funded by TEMPUS agency (project JEP-41016-2006), with the objectives to enable high-quality and specialized education in the field of e-learning and to establish the new M.Sc. studies in e-learning according to the principles of the Bologna declaration.
  • DEVELOPMENT OF HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR BASIC HEALTH AND PHARMACEUTICAL SERVICES IN SERBIA   (2006-2008)  -  A 2.5-year international project, funded by the European Union and managed by the European Agency for Reconstruction (EAR), with full support of the Government of Serbia and relevant professional institutions and organizations. The primary objective of the project is to introduce Electronic Health Records (EHR) in the health system of Serbia.
