CONCLUSION
There is a great opportunity to implement an e-learning
project in Portugal in several areas. The Universities have
the potential to begin a real knowledge global market with
the internet based technologies.
The project proposed is a driven and a motivation for
future projects within the communities.
The limitations and drawbacks are only in the
financing, but since this project is aligning with the
Government strategy there is strength to avoid that.
The applications are not only for high schools and
Universities but also for ECTS lectures and professional
formation, for instance.
