Modus tele-learning to provide long distance University courses

More courses are set to follow in the future, the target being to gradually extend the operation to all other degree courses currently offered by the University. During trials held at the Educational Sciences Faculty of the University of Lecce, lectures were broadcast from Alenia Spazio''s service centre in Rome.

MODUS is an ESA ARTES 3 project aimed at demonstrating the economical viability for the provision of tele-learning services based on both a broadband satellite network (forward path) and a narrow-band terrestrial network (return path).
