COURSES

Three initial sets of content will be made available to validate the approach taken by the BIOeNET project partners in developing the LearnSmartEurope platform and to encourage Business Intermediary Organisations to become members of the BIOeNET Membership network. These materials cover:

• Efficient use of energy
• Entrepreneurial skills development
• International trade facilitation

Over time the BIOeNET project will seek to encourage BIOeNET Members and other organisations (e.g. training providers) to offer some of their existing online learning resources to other BIOeNET members either for free to or at discounted rates.

Course providers of this type – whether BIOeNET members or commercial training organisations – will be able to use the LearnSmartEurope platform Content Management System when developing, enhancing, translating and hosting their online courses.

The provision of courses and other online resources at commercial rates is, however, not the main focus of the Business Intermediary Organisations e-learning Network and BIOeNET Members and other training providers will be encouraged to provide resources free to BIOeNET members whenever practicable.
