Definition • E-learning is the computer and network-enabled transfer of skills and knowledge. • E-learning applications and processes include • Web-based learning, • Computer-based learning, • Virtual education opportunities and • Digital collaboration. • Content is delivered via the Internet, intranet/extranet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CD-ROM. • It can be self-paced or instructor-led and includes media in the form of text, image, animation, streaming video and audio.
Objectives the EU enables people of all ages to gain experience through studies, training or learning abroad and supports co-operation between schools, universities and enterprises in different European countries. The integration of digital media and technologies in education is a policy priority throughout Europe. National and regional initiatives are often grounded in the belief that schools must provide students with the skills needed to participate in our knowledge society. However, reality has shown that a well-planned use of ICT in education calls for more than new media and tools, requiring profound pedagogical changes from within the school system, not least the accommodation of a more personalised approach to learning.
PastCall Priorities Funding under the 2013 LLP-call prioritized: • Develop strategies for lifelong learning and mobility • Encourage cooperation between the worlds of education, training and work • Support initial and continuous training of teachers, trainers and education and training institutions' managers • Promote the acquisition of key competences throughout the education and training system • Promote social inclusion and gender equality in education and training, including the integration of migrants and Roma • These overarching priorities reflect main issues at stake of the political agenda for education and training in the European Union.
2014-2020 – What‘snext • Transversal Programmethemes for ERA4ALL • Information and communication technologies - ICT activity: • Actions are not about developing technology itself, but about the use of ICT tools to enhance learning environments and experiences. This includes aspects such as the use of simulations, discovery learning, attracting drop-outs back to education, enabling learning outside the school environment and bridging the 'digital divide' between those with access to technologies and relevant skills, and those without. • http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/
