ELU

The objective of Enhanced Learning Unlimited (ELU) is to look on how interactive digital TV can be used to increase learning opportunities in the home, office and school. The television is a familiar and reliable consumer device with around 95-99% penetration in European households. It is also perceived to be a source of learning. However, in its more traditional role it has tended to be used in a passive viewing mode.

As more households are going to have access to programmes in digital format interactivity becomes possible. This is enabling viewers to select additional information and video-clips whilst watching about a particular programme and take part in interactive quizzes and other simple interactive “edutainment” activities. While TV-based interactive betting, banking and shopping are already possible the Digital TV solutions enable the beginning of a new era in which e-learning can be done using the mass market broadband TV (through digital cable and DSL technologies).
