Language learning skills impact greatly on the ability of students to learn. In online distance training, however, it is possible to take a 100-word sample of a student's linguistic ability and sample it against the lexical coefficients of the national language thesaurus to punch out courses which eliminate vocabulary that is not within the student's range. 1, record 3, English, - online%20distance%20training

Les universités commencent à utiliser la téléformation en ligne pour augmenter leur effectif étudiant sans avoir à disposer d'autres installations. Les étudiants effectuent habituellement un court séjour sur le campus au début et à la fin de leurs études. Entre les deux, ils suivent la majorité de leurs cours via Internet. S'ils étaient augmentés de façon substantielle, les programmes d'enseignement à distance réduiraient le besoin de professeurs à temps plein et augmenteraient le besoin de professeurs à temps partiel ou à contrat et de chargés de cours occasionnels, qui constituent une main-d'œuvre plus souple. 2, record 3, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9formation%20en%20ligne

LASALA has shown that local authorities recognise the importance of participating in a self-assessment exercise if this is effectively organised and supported, both within their own organisations, and through networks such as ICLEI and the Campaign. It has also highlighted the role that information technology can play in assisting local authorities with self-evaluation, through a distance training technique. Moreover, LASALA has led to an extensive database on the process and progress of LA21 across Europe, to which it may be possible for all European local authorities to contribute through undertaking the self-assessment exercise. 3, record 6, English, - distance%20training%20technique
