GlesOne stems from a concept that integrates users of virtual learning platforms who are dispersed throughout the world, so that they may interact via a global learning social network. It is based on the premise that knowledge in the 21^st century is created in a collaborative, social and global manner.

The virtual platforms that form an integral part of GlesOne have unique characteristics. For example, the user interface has the appearance of social network and structures its methodological framework on collaboration and interaction.
