E-Learning in the work-places in the Rural Sector of northeastern Greece

Internet based applications and in particular e-learning ones have proved very successful when applied to training diverse groups in small and disparate communities. This paper discusses the potential of e-learning methods in training in the rural sector of northeastern Greece. A survey was carried out amongst Greek rural communities in the region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace during the autumn of 2003. The results of the survey have been analyzed and discussed with two axes of focus in mind: Establishing which areas of learning would be the most immediately acceptable for use in an e-learning application of training within the farming industry and to ascertain the extent to which e-learning has already been adopted within the rural areas of northeastern Greece
