Step 1.- The experience, this year • Spanish students have in “Administracion electronica” teachers from Spain, Brasil and Argentina during 2006-2007: from February until June • The same begins with brasilean and argentinian students during 2007: from June until December • Blended system: traditional and on line learning systems • Joint examinations • Government support (Brasilean and Spanish)
Step 3.- The books: the LEFIS Serie, and the common infrastructure • English book, published in JILT (Journal of Information and Law Technology) • http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/law/elj/jilt/2005_2-3/ • Spanish Book • It is in the LEFIS Web page, only for owners of the LEFIS private-public key • Privacy, first book of the LEFIS Serie in preparation (deadline 15th June) • It will be included also in the LEFIS Web page: Access by public key • On line teaching in the Faculties of Law: second book • Joint courses in the LEFIS Web: A page for the LEFIS Virtual campus (in outcomes) • Participants from different Universities, teachers and students • Teachers and students need to use the LEFIS public-private key • Instructions to generate and obtain the key • https://pki.lefis.org/
Step 3.- The collaboration: the joint courses • The professors as collaborators of the teaching in concrete authorized courses by the respective University • Graduate and postgraduate level • Old courses, first • New courses, later • Assesment made also by the collaborating professors
Step 4.- The joint Diploms • Last objective • At least at graduate level • From academic course 2007-2008 • Blended modality • Diploms for the matriculated student in ordinary lectures, acknowledged by the own University • Initialy by the signatures of the teachers • Later by the own University organization • Postgraduate level also • From academic course 2008-2009: • Master in LEFIS with several specialities: the application must be made by end January 2008 • The proposal to the University is to made a Master (60 credits, blended and on line modality) promoted by LEFIS • The partners will be all the interested LEFIS partners, specially the participants in the LEFIS Virtual Campus application • The students ought pay the real cost of the inmatriculation in the Master • The price will be adequate to the requirements of every University • As soon as possible we shall require the neccesary documents from the partners Universities to agree on the basic common rules related with title, contents and organizative question
Step 5.- Erasmus programme • The interchange of teachers and students is possible in Europa and America by Erasmus programme and another new programmes: old ALFA for example • 22 Erasmus students this year in the Faculty of Law of Zaragoza, coming from the LEFIS Universities partners • If the application to the virtual campus is sucessful the procedure will be improved with support to the formation of new teachers and organization and difussion meetings, • But this is an added: the system functions as real example of application of e signatures!
Conclusion • Recent rules based on e signature exist • There are not yet enough active PKIs • The Government institutions support several PKIs or only one (the last is a bad solution) • It is neccesary to made real proofs attending to concrete present and future problems • LEFIS has experience in real proofs
