communicating knowledge and expertise. The application of ICT for educational purposes
should be aimed to improve the education process in terms of pedagogical methodologies,
school infrastructure, human resources development and organisational restructuring, in order
to efficiently absorb and utilise the technological developments. New learning paradigms
have already emerged giving emphasis to the communication and collaborative aspects of the
learning process. Self-supported and collaborative learning is expected to transform the
traditional educational activities (teacher-centred model) and promote flexibility, reflection
and group interaction.1 aBouras, Christos1 aTsakarissianos, G  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/school-networks-and-telematics-servicesperspectives-international-co-operation?language=en
