Executive SummaryExecutive Summary

The Boundary-Less Learning (BLL) concept is simply an online

learning initiative aimed at hosting multimedia content (in form of

video, audio, e-books and other forms of media).

Contents from various third party providers who want to host

trainings, workshops, short tutorials and vocational courses are

uploaded on the BLL platform thereby enabling access anywhere

and anytime.

IntroductionIntroduction

This platform will offer vocational, technical and professional

courses centrally hosted from a Learning Management System

(LMS) on a web/internet platform that can be accessed with the

use of any internet-enabled computer.
