Starting point: 
South Tyrol's Bilingualism Examination

ELDIT was originally initiated to make all preparation materials for the Bilingualism Examination available to the population of South Tyrol both free of charge and in an easy-to-use form. All of the examination materials (texts, vocabulary banks and general information) were completely redesigned in the course of the project. 
The dictionary and texts are, however, not only a means of independent preparation for the Bilingualism Examination, but are also suitable for other education and reference purposes.

An interdisciplinary team of linguists and computer scientists is responsible for the development of ELDIT. The work falls into a relatively young branch of research within the field of foreign language didactics, which is concerned with the development of computer-assisted multimedia language teaching software for self-instruction. In addition, innovative directions in the field of educational lexicography have been explored in the course of the project.
