Abstract

The aim of the AgroFE project is to play an important role in Agro-forestry trainings. Depending on the European countries, statesorprofessional organizations and training actors try to reintroduce Agro forestry training and qualification in the vocational, higher educationand adult education. The main objectives of the project are to make a synthesis of needs and expectations, based on present the existing training actions and to set up a common framework,to build an innovative training system to create a technical collaborative support for the implementation of the project with communication tools and for providing access to the resources and training services during and after the project. The user profiles are Teachers, Professionals, Students, People (with disabilities in professional situations), Knowledge feeders, Knowledge builders and aggregators. There are needs for handling many formats in the knowledge databank.More open source and exist tools and services have been evaluated, tested,usedand implemented in creating the service architectures and finalize the system componentsin the project. The architecture concept of the Knowledge Data Base and Services hasbeen developed. The paper describes the results of the developments. The Moodle LMS system and videoconference servers areused for collaborative working and learning environment. Thislearning and collaborative platformis used as project management,project assessments toolsand e-learning / on-line learning.The videconference systems integrated with the Moodle system can demonstrate and show the path towards the near future service similar to the MOOC concept. This paper decribes the concept of the knowledge data base and service architecture and some aspects of using mobile tools.
