  international, multi-disciplinary team work
Enhanced quality of study programmes - more courses on offer at home university
- internationalisation scores high in quality
  assessments of education (e.g. EVS)
Exchange of expertise for staff - different educational formats and
  technologies for e-learning
Platform for web-based courses - systematic evaluation and joint learning
- open source e-learning platform (Moodle)
- multi-lingual technical support
Accessible partnership - free trial period, different levels of
  participation

Despite the benefits associated with an international virtual campus, there are still many challenges on the road to implementing and sustaining virtual campuses of European universities at a large scale. A large number of educational, organizational and technological issues need to be tackled (see '''Table 1''', Chapter 2), and given the many differences between universities across Europe, it is not easy to find joint solutions. Another major barrier is the wide-spread conviction, often rooted in ignorance, among educational staff and students of conventional universities that e-learning is unattractive and less effective as compared to face-to-face learning environments.
