The goals of eLearning Asia include:

• Creating international partnerships for cooperation in development among leading eLearning countries.
• Promoting international trading content and technology.
• Revitalizing the international eLearning industry.
• Sharing the latest information and cutting-edge technology in eLearning.
• Activating communication among manufacturers, traders, distributors, buyers, and end-users.

The workshop will introduce new-generation, state-of-the-art learning- content-production and management standards such as IMS Common Content Cartdrige and OKI OSID's Open DR Access and Federation Services. It will also showcase Giunti Labs' engagement in world-leading research and development initiatives and present these in the context of real-world cases.

The events will also showcase R&D projects, such as the MOBIlearn, Sculpteur, and Wearit at work projects from the EU Research Framework. These address new-generation mobile, wearable, and virtual-worlds-based learning.

The workshop is intended for academic and corporate CIOs and CLOs, along with strategy decision-makers who want to implement new digital-content production, management, and sharing strategies by implementing learning content management system (LCMS) and digital repository (DR) solutions in their learning organisations behind their existing LMS and VLE setups.

Fabrizio Cardinali, CEO of Giunti Labs and Chair of the European Learning Industry Group (ELIG), will deliver the workshop. Cardinali comments, "It is only by opening up their archives and unleashing the unmatched value of their heritage that today's knowledge societies can survive increasing global competition - but they need to act first in order to survive."
