| Abstract: |
The NetAcademy is an internet based knowledge management tool which has been developed by Beat F. Schmid of the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland, in 1996. The platform (www.netacademy.org) was launched in March 1997 and was totally redesigned in August 2003. - - -The goal of the NetAcademy is to align research and teaching in internet based academic communities. Members of such communities can be students, lecturers, tutors, researchers, managers and other experts which have a common interest in particular fields of knowledge and teaching. - - -The strategy of the NetAcademy developers is to build, with other scientific communities, a joint network of expertise on the internet, thus to contribute to a global open source online handbook on academic knowledge. The main challenge is to add the semantics and editorial quality in such a way that merging content of different sources becomes ever more consistent and meaningful, not less (as it is the case in today's www). - - -The NetAcademy project has been chosen to figure in the CD-ROM of the"development.com"-project which fosters international cooperation and the information society, presented at the World Summit Information Society, Dec 2003 in Geneva.
