Over the years, CARNET has developed numerous educational tools, services and content, including complex platforms for digital educational resources, distance learning and communication. Given the need for quick adaptation to new ways of working and the massive use of technology, CARNET had to adapt its systems in order to serve users as well as possible, enabling a greater number of simultaneous users. The goal of the project was to expand knowledge on solving technical problems on systems for working with a large number of users, using the experiences of other organizations in improving systems and content for adult users who are educated and communicate through technology. It was also intended to contribute to the development of personal and social skills in order to better understand the different circumstances of adult users: with different prior knowledge, ways of learning and social opportunities. Project participants expanded their knowledge and skills in managing the mentioned systems and got inspiration to improve the - all with the aim of facilitating access to educational materials for all adult users and making their learning process as simple as possible.
CARNET is a public institution whose main activities are focused on the use of technology in education, providing network infrastructure, Internet services and computer security. As part of its more than 50 services, CARNET offers platforms for digital educational resources, systems for distance learning and communication, and a rich selection of digital educational content. CARNET provides its services to all age groups, with a special emphasis on teachers and students, and many tools and services are also available to adult citizens throughout Croatia. Recently, CARNET has increased its efforts in providing services to adult users, especially parents and people with fewer opportunities. Following global trends, the focus of communication and work with users is aimed at online sharing of information and knowledge. CARNET strives to provide quality and stable distance learning services to all users throughout Croatia, including those in remote and isolated areas, as well as content that supports the learning and teaching process. In addition, CARNET provides support and education to colleagues from other educational institutions in the system, encouraging them to use available services and tools to improve their own work.
