Created in 2004 through an agreement between the NewMinE Lab of USI (IcleF, Faculty of the Science of Communications) and the Service for Didactics and New Media of SUPSI (Department of Technology Innovation), the eLab intends to promote an effective integration of digital technologies, always focusing attention not on the technologies themselves, but rather on learning and on those who learn.

The activities of the service are divided between the support of didactic activities of SUPSI and USI (among the services offered, we point out in particular the provision of the online platform iCorsi http://www.icorsi.ch) and the technological support to guarantee the technical realisation of projects of the Swiss Virtual Campus (CVS), facilitated by SUPSI and USI.
