Abstract

The Aula Mentor program began in 1992. The idea was to offer useful courses related to labour demand and personal development. It was addressed to adult population who lived in rural areas or could not get, for any reason, to face-to face school training. Among the means they would use, we find precarious ICT tools, using a high cost phone line which, in fact, was not very reliable. This project was a great success at that time, and nowadays, it is still considered a remarkable benchmark for on-line teaching; it was successful thanks to the collaboration between different public administrations: City Councils, the Ministry of Education and Science and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
