• We do not believe that the future of places like Ios in Europe is to be abandoned and used only as places for richer tourists from other places to visit and relax;
• We believe that the future of such places includes productive people living and working here.

Outline
• The (social) need:Education in remote areas
• The (technological) opportunity:Web 2.0 computing for e-learning
• A (sophisticated) response to the need:The REVIT project
How well does our (sophisticated) response utilize the (technological) opportunity
in order to serve the (social) need?

What is a remote area?
• (Ithaca, New York vs. Harlem, New York)• “Distance” in the communication society

locally/globally available civilization• ‘Distant’ as a relative attribute• Is remoteness negative (and for whom)?
(when it is not a matter of choice)

• We shall use it to help improving the lives of all of us

Main ingredients (innovative and otherwise)
• School (= community)• Customized, relevant education• Distant, adult education• Roles: Local (teachers, moderators) and remote
(tutor, course designer/developer)• Distant functions (course delivery, development)• “we can handle distance”(with web 2.0 technology, psychology, & a little f2f)

Revit building blocks
• Educational methodology centered on learners’ activities, not teachers’
• Good, reliable, internet-based technology• Web 2.0• Understanding local• Utilizing remote
