Mainstream eLearning

The DAE calls upon Member States to mainstream eLearning (…) for the modernisation of education (…).

Foster the use of eLearning resources in schools

are not widely used by teachers and learners– Foster the use of educational resources in

different educational contexts– accelerate adoption of eLearning

resources by stimulating demand
