Overall strategy

The Language Technologies for Lifelong Learning (LTfLL) project was devised to deal with practical problems in supporting the activities of learners and tutors in educational and organizational settings (i.e., work overload and time management issues) through:

- Assessment of student contributions: in particular, giving formative feedback.
- Monitoring of study progress: ranging from dropout prevention to providing personalised advice. 
- Community and group support: selecting and creating groups, ordering and archiving threads, providing overviews of the activities of a community as a whole and of the individual actors.

In the project we offer language technology solutions for these problems. At the moment we are in the process of developing six services, which offer independent solutions to these practical problems.  In their design there is no premature commitment to a particular theory. We also developed independent scenarios to validate and disseminate the services.
We have now reached the stage where we can assess whether these services can provide an integrated solution to the problems mentioned above.
