The eLearning Centre of Kemi-Tornio University of Applied Sciences has provided support for on-line and remote learning since 1999. For the last ten years, the mainstay of the eLearning effort at KTUAS and the affiliated schools in the Lappia municipal education consortium has been the open-source virtual learning environment Moodle. Moodle as mentioned before is the most widely used virtual learning environment in the world. This fact creates opportunities for our school when we seek to offer services to foreign schools and education authorities.
For years the eLearning Centre has had ties with institutes abroad, such as the Interdisciplinary Institute of Training and Information, MIPKI, in Saint Petersburg. This year, for the first time, we have set foot outside of Europe by sending a Moodle expert to train support staff at the Rwandan Education Board (REB) in Kigali, Rwanda.
