DIBAM (Dirección de Bibliotecas Públicas, Archivos y Museos) is the organization that has started the
E-LANE demonstration subprobyect in Chile. Since it includes 17 Infocenters and 368 Public Libraries, is the perfect place to start a pilot experience about the use of
.LRN to teach ICDL modules.
This initiative has allowed two libraries (Recoleta and San Bernardo, both in Santiago) to give free courses to interested people. These people has had a flexible timetable to use the computer and follow the courses using the .LRN platform. The offered courses are ICDL modules 1,2,3 and 7.
The aim of this experience was to rise the amount of people capable of using a computer and to ease the way they obtain this capability. Meanwhile, the Chile University has been able to check the usability of the platform and the courses in a real scenario.
