  1. ELUE Final Conference E-Learning and University Education Italian Results of the Project Tommaso Leo

  2. SUMMARY • Arguments examined by ELUE • The organization of the survey • Main commonalities and differences among the countries • Results • What about the future

  3. AIMS OF THE ELUE PROJECT • To survey the Nation-wide e-learning initiatives promoted by the participating Countries at a government level • To survey e-learning activities undertaken and/or planned in the participating Countries • To launch an observatory on e-learning in University Education at a trans-national level with a view to the Higher Education (HE) system in each Country thinking about the system(s) across European Union

  4. AN INITIATIVE IN THE LINE OF THE BOLOGNA PROCESS • It aims at providing grounds and tools for promoting the integration of national systems • It appears in some way unprecedented in the rich activities promoted by the commission

  5. We surveyed 44 EU supported projects active from 2001 to 2007 aimed at the analysis and evaluation of the e-learning use in the HE • 17 among them implement an observatory on some aspects concerning the topic • Only ELUE seems to consider the argument from the point of view of the HE system Networks, best practices, standards shared repositories, different approaches to Quality, human-organization factors facilitating or hindering e-learning seem to be the most frequented arguments

  6. ARGUMENTS OF THE ELUE PROJECT • HE System organization Country by Country • Institutional support and Public funding of University e-learning • Maturity and development level of University e-learning -Level of reflection on the University e-learning

  7. SUMMARY • Arguments examined by ELUE • The organization of the survey • Main commonalities and differences among the countries • Results • What about the future

  8. Timing of the survey • Two Phases • Preliminary study • Nation Wide enquiries

  9. Observatory Is aimed to know Is aimed to facilitate OBSERVATORY MISSION

  10. WHAT IS THE OBSERVED PHOENOMENON E-learning has number of instances We focussed on ICT enchanced learning, web-based at present

  11. METHODS • Total universe enquiry • Quantitative aspects • Qualitative aspects have been treated up to now less than useful and appropriate

  12. SUMMARY • Arguments examined by ELUE • The organization of the survey • Main commonalities and differences among the countries • Results • What about the future

  13. COMMONALITIES AND DIFFERENCES AMONG THE ELUE PARTNERS1/2 • Regulatory system according to EURYDICE Differences - Regulation of HE systems - Number of universities - Number of students/university Commonalities - Three levels of HE studies • National policies towards e-learning according to ELUE survey - Strong in Finland - Significant in France - Weak, if any, in Italy

  14. COMMONALITIES AND DIFFERENCES AMONG THE ELUE PARTNERS 2/2 • Status of the affairs in University e-learning - Cultural resistences of the teachers - Wide and/or multifaceted initiatives with ICT

  15. SUMMARY • Arguments examined by ELUE • The organization of the survey • Main commonalities and differences among the countries • Results ( in Italy) • What about the future

  16. Observatory Is aimed to know Is aimed to facilitate OBSERVATORY MISSION

  17. SYNTHETIC RESULTS To know: • Resistences of the teachers • Fragmentation of the initiatives • But the trend is from sector initiatives to University initiatives • Organization is seriously considered • The interest towards Quality, Good Practices, experience sharing is increasing

  18. STATUS OF THE AFFAIRS • Awareness of the strategic importance of e-learning • Policies adopted by Italian Universities • Existence of specific organization Units
