Research - cooperation

Since its inception, CeL has been involved in 7 international projects funded by the European Union and other research projects. The results are found in the didactic and academic activity, in the introduction of the e-learning system.

CeL was the first to introduce in Romania a virtual educational environment (VLE), by developing and integrating online learning and mobile learning modules for students in academic specializations. Developed since 2000 by our specialists, the CeL platform has been constantly modified and improved.

This educational environment is now the UPT Virtual Campus - CVUPT - a system based on Moodle that includes:

  • Academic Management (LMS Learning Management System): interface for managing students, teachers, exams, results, course information
  • Academic learning support (CMS Course management system): online courses, online or electronic laboratory materials, podcasting
  • Communication and web 2.0 tools: forum, blog, wiki, messaging, SMS, etc.

Since 2008, CeL has been involved in a number of EU-funded structural fund projects through the European Social Fund.
