Virtual Learning Environments and Learning Methods (ViLL) is a project connected to The Digital North Denmark. ViLL works with concrete IT implementations in various educational environments and also with establishment of a centre of research, development, and knowledge in the field of e-learning. Within this laboratory environment, knowledge and systems related to e-learning are developed, collected, and exchanged for partners of the ViLL project and for further interested parties.

The ViLL project aims for:

• Strengthening of competence development and protection of up-to-date competences in North Jutland

• Identification, development, and testing of new virtual learning approaches and IT systems, so that people through all of their life are given relevant and flexible opportunities to participate in education and supplementary training of high quality

• Establishment of E-Learning Lab North Jutland, which can contribute to IT-competence construction methodologically and operationally among teachers and human resource persons

• Development of new teaching tools in shape of software that tailors technological solutions for specific requirements in particular occasions of teaching

• Evaluation of technological solutions for teaching in relation to organizational and pedagogical challenges that prevail in educations, where technological solutions are used

• Strengthening of cooperation between educational institutions and companies

• Strengthening of regional knowledge development and share of knowledge as parameters for competition in the global network society
