Exploitable results Training Network for the European Car Industry; TECAR TECAR aimed to reduce the financial burden of training for Europe's automotive industry. A training service will support on-demand access to a network of distributed multimedia training materials using directed, explorative training, for service technicians and trainers in the car industry, e.g. for new product lines. Developed primarily for Mercedes and Fiat to improve employee access to training, with cost-effective on-demand training services. Project URL: http://tecar.condat.de TECAR: training network for the European car industry TECAR is aiming to increase both the quality and availability of training within the automotive industry. The project has developed a training service which supports on-demand access to a network of distributed multimedia training material. Its main innovation was to develop a new specific training and co-operation model called directed explorative working, based on the integration of training material into an on-demand service. TECAR has implemented several services, including a media library, called Mediathek which emphasises distributed preparation and access to the training material for everyone involved in the preparation of coursework. A self-contained on-demand courseware component allows access to the prepared courses at remote training sites. Also, a helpdesk service provides on-line support using e-mail, newsgroup discussion boards, videoconferencing, and application sharing. All solutions developed during the TECAR project are targeted towards specific training needs within the automotive industry. However, the on-demand training service and multimedia server system are expected to contribute to new training services for a wide range of other industrial training applications based on multimedia telematics.
