Abstract: The paper describes a pilot implementation of an open distributed learning equipment, developed under an international project. It is organized on the basis of the modern computer-assisted education metaphor of "virtual campus"and takes into account the contemporary principles of active learning. The virtual environments and the supporting multimedia courses are discussed, as well as the two variants of the pilot implementation (Intranet and Internet oriented). The results from the experimental application of the environment are studied.
