Abstract: Today’s competitive economic and social environment asks for high educational expertise. There is a tremendous demand for education and training, and many countries fail to meet such requirements. Overall, there is a discrepancy between the need of the economy and society nowadays and what education manages to provide. Moreover, with a rapid growth of educational content, providing a qualitative learning experience is not an easy task. Technology expansion can augment traditional, instructor-centered learning. Distributed Learning Environments successfully combine campus-based teaching with computer-oriented, e-Learning facilities, towards the delivery of qualitative education. An attempt to setting up a qualitative learning environment in an academic European network is ViReC (Virtual Resource Center) e-Initiative. Providing a collaborative, time and location-independent, and interactive mean of learning represents the key to an increased competitiveness for high-level education institutions.
