【 摘 要 】

Since 2000 the Open Polytechnic University has been working at e-learning methods, as a commitment to introduction of Communication Technologies into training process. The development of grade and postgraduate subjects was a specific way of putting it into practice. The figures support our work (200 courses has been developed at the moment, and more than 10.000 students are using our e-learning platform). The future looks brilliant for the e-learning when the development course process is a quality procedure and the contents are designed for on line training purposes. Teachers have to see the on line training materials differently he looks at otherstraining materials, they are different and specific pedagogical aspects to bear inmind; this is the reason why they follow the pedagogical modules structure designed by the Open Polytechnic University. On the other hand, teachers from the Polytechnic University of Valencia can take advice from the Open Polytechnic University in order to apply New Technologies to their courses; the Open Polytechnic University offers training to teachers in e-learning and give to them resources to improve their capacities in order to teach their subjects by an e-learning platform. The courses development process at the Open Polytechnic University, it is a process called "Stages and Experts", because several expert agents are involved. They work together in a multidisciplinary model that gives quality to the courses, a quality that is proven by the Open Polytechnic University stamp.All this process is based on our own author tool, e-learning platform andpedagogical methodology.
