LEARNING PROGRAMME

(2005/C 126/10)

1.   Scope

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

e

(a)   Promoting digital literacy

| — | Identification, assessment, reporting and dissemination of good practices in the promotion of digital literacy, covering both conceptual and practical issues, from the understanding of digital literacy to identification of remedial actions for specific target groups — for example, making available online and offline digital information resources for those who have no easy access to ICT or the promotion of digital literacy in a lifelong learning context. In addition, proposals may implement digital literacy promotion actions building upon the good practices identified. |

| — | The second priority supports European virtual mobility projects building (and enlarging) on cooperation agreements between HEI and on institutionalised, thematic or other networks which play an essential role for the mainstreaming of virtual campuses. Those proposals should facilitate effective and sustainable deployment building on the Bologna process and its operational tools (ECTS, quality ...) and support long-term partnerships based on adequate organisational and economical models. |
