Abstract
In this paper, we are describing an architecture for the realisation of Open and Distance
Learning (ODL) Environments using Telematics. The approach of using Training Centres as
dedicated education services providers, located at the premises of an educational authority is
discussed. These Training Centres may be Points of Presence of an international educational network
(as is the case in the TRENDS Project in the context of which Training Centres were studied).
Crucial aspects of the feasibility study, aiming to investigate the operational and organisational
conditions of the Centres, that must precede the implementation of a Training Centre, are cited.
