How does LEPnet.org differ from other types of Web-based education, including distance learning?

LEPnet.org is a community-driven project. Unlike traditional distance learning programs which are often centered on a particular institution, The LEP Network draws its greatest strength from its members. Contributors to this site come from all sectors, and from around the world. Likewise, LEPnet.org is designed to be useful and easy to use for anyone, anywhere in the world. LEPnet.org provides our members with the tools to build a worldwide community of learning.
