CALL FOR PROPOSALS

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

eLearning Programme – EAC/26/04

e

(2004/C 113/06)

1.   Scope

This Call for Proposals aims to address three of the four areas of intervention of the eLearning Programme:

(a)   Promoting digital literacy

Promoting digital literacy

Actions in this area will address the contribution of ICT in school and more broadly in a lifelong learning context, in particular for those who, owing to their geographical location, social situation or special needs, do not have easy access to those technologies. The objective is to identify good examples and build synergies between the many national and European activities, which address these target groups.

(b)   European virtual campuses

European virtual campuses

Actions in this area will pursue a better integration of the virtual dimension in Higher Education. The objective is to encourage the development of new organisational models for providing higher education in Europe (virtual campuses) and for European exchange and sharing schemes (virtual mobility), building on existing European cooperation frameworks (Erasmus programme, Bologna process), and providing an ‘e-learning dimension’ to their operational tools (European credit transfer system (ECTS), European Masters, quality assurance, mobility).

(c)   Transversal actions

Transversal actions

Actions in this area will address the promotion of e-learning in Europe, building on the monitoring of the eLearning Action Plan. The objectives are the dissemination, promotion and transfer of good and innovative practices and results from the projects and programmes and to reinforce cooperation between the various actors involved, in particular by fostering public-private partnerships.

The fourth area of intervention, e-twinning of schools in Europe and promotion of teachers' training, will be the subject of separate calls.
