The document discusses current trends and challenges around e-learning in Europe. It notes that 50% of students attend schools with formalized ICT policies and teacher collaboration on technology integration. However, teachers' ICT skills and pedagogical training are often lacking, and students primarily use technology for preparations rather than creative work. OER initiatives aim to overcome fragmentation by creating open repositories and encouraging resource sharing, while the role of students and teachers is shifting to emphasize student-centered and collaborative learning. Ensuring quality, knowledge sharing between educators, and readiness for ongoing changes remain important challenges.

SIX RECOMMENDATIONS for advancement of OEP for adult learning in Europe 1. Recognise that ‘learning’ takes place everywhere 2. Extend the range of people and organisations who produce and use resources 3. Think of OER more broadly than as content 4. Promote awareness of open licensing and its implications 5. Improve the usability of OER 6. Plan for sustained change

„Research shows that ICT and in particular the recent wave of social computing technologies are strong enablers of more learner-centred approaches whereby learners are taking more control over what or how is learned, and when learning takes place.“
…
„The vision of learning spaces presents a desirable and necessary future for learning. It puts learners at the centre of learning, but, at the same time, conceives learning as a social process. Learners become co-producers and not just consumers of learning content.“
