more schools are getting equipped with multimedia computers and connected to the Internet. Through the
advancements of the personal computer and the Internet, the school of the future will find new strengths
in both personalised and community learning environments. The prevailing perspective for the
introduction of the Information and Communication Technologies can be characterised as the “computer
as a tool”. However, as with all tools, effective use of the technology is embedded within practices and
activities that realise its functionality for specific purposes and situations. On the other hand, the
investigation of the relationship between practices, purposes, and situations and computer-based
learning technologies is a major topic on pedagogic research.1 aBouras, Christos1 aPhilopoulos, A1 aFotakis, D  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/information-and-communication-technologies-education?language=el01443nas a2200181   4500008004100000245003200041210003100073260001600104300001700120520092200137100002101059700002301080700001401103700001501117700001301132700001901145856009701164       1999                        eng d00aVirtual European School-VES0 aVirtual European SchoolVES  c7 - 11 June  a 1055 - 10573 aThe Virtual European School (VES) is an ongoing
European project - funded by the Educational Multimedia
Task Force Initiative of the European Union - with the
aim to develop a comprehensive on-line resource of
teaching material for secondary school education. The
system will be fed by a group of smaller publishing houses
from different European countries (Austria, Italy, Greece,
Great Britain) specialised in educational material. The
offer will contain multimedia material, CBT products, and
also additional background materials, such as passages
from schoolbooks, or Internet resources. The technical
structure of the VES system will be based on Internet
technologies, with interconnected VES servers in each
participating region. The multimedia material will be
stored in a database, with multi-lingual annotations for
each project. There exist three user groups within the
VES: publishers, teachers and pupils.1 aBouras, Christos1 aKapoulas, Vaggelis1 aKoubek, A1 aFotakis, D1 aMayer, H1 aRehatscheck, H  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/virtual-european-school-ves?language=el01196nas a2200145   4500008004100000245005600041210005400097260002100151300001500172520069200187100002100879700001900900700001500919856011600934       1998                        eng d00aA Distributed Virtual Learning Center in Cyberspace0 aDistributed Virtual Learning Center in Cyberspace  c18 - 20 November  a 410 - 4153 aIn this paper, we present a user-friendly 3D Distributed Virtual

offer depending on the nature of their target groups, they support a set of general purpose elementary
network services, that provide some essential communication facilities to the end users.
Regarding an educational network, these facilities include collaboration, navigation into the
information resources, as well as interpersonal communication, to the members of the Education
Society. In the sequel the major principles on providing these elementary network services are
presented. On-lline/off-line contact over an alternative means of communication among the members
of the trans-European Education Society could be an adequate reason for the deployment of an
educational communication network. This category of services will offer the members of the
Education Society the ability of exchanging opinions on educational and social matters, as well as
interpersonal messages, and collaborating. These facilities should be provided by already existing
network services, enhanced where necessary by supporting multimedia information exchange (mostly
off-line). In the latter case external media players of attachment viewers may be used for the
presentation of the multiple media of information.1 aBouras, Christos1 aKonidaris, Agis1 aSevasti, Afroditi1 aKontogiannis, S1 aFotakis, D1 aKatanou, A1 aStephanou, E  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/major-principles-design-educational-network?language=el01882nas a2200193   4500008004100000245008800041210006900129260001100198300001300209520119000222100002101412700002301433700001901456700001501475700001501490700002001505700001501525856014801540       1997                        eng d00aUsing Multimedia/Hypermedia Tools over Networks for Distance Education and Training0 aUsing MultimediaHypermedia Tools over Networks for Distance Educ  cSummer  a 20 - 263 aThe rapid developments in the Information Technology sector as well as the
deployment of faster networks brings us to the era of the New Information
Technology (NIT). The citizen of the near future must be able to use them else he will
be seriously handicapped in his everyday life. Thus NIT becomes part of the
educational process while on the other hand offers the tools and the infrastructure for
the establishment of the distance education process. The educators are one of the first
professions that must learn to use NIT and its tools. Multimedia/hypermedia tools
offer solutions to the problems posed by the distance education process. They can be
user-friendly and enticing and they can cover most, if not all, the needs of their users.
A lot of prototype systems (tools) for distance education have been developed, each
offering a number of functions that aid the process of distance education. The rapid
growth of World Wide Web is adding another factor that can lead to the wider
deployment of distance education systems. Although the value of distance education
is unquestionable there is still a lot of work to be done before a wide spread
implementation platform emerges.1 aBouras, Christos1 aKapoulas, Vaggelis1 aSpirakis, Paul1 aLampsas, P1 aTatakis, A1 aKontogiannis, S1 aFotakis, D  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/using-multimediahypermedia-tools-over-networks-distance-education-and-training?language=el00744nas a2200205   4500008004100000245008700041210006900128260001700197300001300214100002100227700002300248700001900271700001500290700001500305700001700320700001600337700001900353700002400372856014200396       1996                        eng d00aFINE:Implementation of a Distributed Telematics Environment for Clinical Engineers0 aFINEImplementation of a Distributed Telematics Environment for C  c10 -12 April  a 56 - 601 aBouras, Christos1 aKapoulas, Vaggelis1 aSpirakis, Paul1 aTatakis, A1 aFotakis, D1 aBalaouras, P1 aChadelis, L1 aPalikarakis, N1 aSandalatzopoulos, R  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/fineimplementation-distributed-telematics-environment-clinical-engineers?language=el01376nas a2200205   4500008004100000245007900041210007500120260001700195300001300212520061800225100002100843700002300864700001900887700001500906700001500921700002000936700001500956700001600971856018300987       1996                        eng d00aAn Interactive Cooperative Teleworking Environment-Tηλεµάθεια ∗0 aInteractive Cooperative Teleworking EnvironmentTηλεµάθεια ∗  c17 - 22 June  a 37 - 423 a<p>In this paper we present the design and the implementation of an interactive environment for cooperative teleworking.

service, that is the conduction of classes through the use of computers. The classes
are directed towards personnel in various areas and aim at the retraining and update
of the personnel in subjects of special interest in their line of work. The conduction of
classes takes place, from and towards, remote regions with the aid of a computer network.
Hippocrates is a flexible and easy-to-use application, which permits students, who sit in
front of remotely situated workstations, to attend classes or seminars given by a teacher
or expert, who can also be located in some remote geographical area. Hippocrates can be
thought of as a distributed transparency projector. The teacher can project transparencies
on the screens of the students’ workstations and can emphasize or indicate regions of
interest on them by using the graphical tools offered by Hippocrates. Immediate results
of the use of Hippocrates are the fast updating of the personnel in remote areas and the
upgrading of the quality of the services they offer.1 aBouras, Christos1 aKapoulas, Vaggelis1 aSpirakis, Paul1 aLampsas, P1 aTatakis, A1 aFotakis, D1 aPapoutsopoulos, G  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/hippocrates-multimedia-tool-distance-education?language=el00981nas a2200193   4500008004100000245005300041210005300094260002800147300001500175520035400190100002100544700002300565700001900588700001500607700001500622700002000637700001500657856011500672       1995                        eng d00aMultilingual Implementations of OSI Applications0 aMultilingual Implementations of OSI Applications  c30 October - 1 November  a 367 - 3743 aIn this work the problem of supporting multilingual environments over
