2. • What are the actual pedagogical models followed by the

mix of different models?
• What is the role of the services and tools available in the
pedagogical practices, namely the Personal Learning
Environments?
• How are Higher Education Institutions adapting
themselves and which are the future trends for
elearning?

4. • There isn’t only one pedagogical model for elearning
• One should adapt the strategies and methodologies according
to the contexts
• More than simply a tool, the PLEs are part of the learning
process and have the necessary potentialities to fuel change
in the learning communities
• Elearning has a promising future mainly in the context of
lifelong learning but universities tend to stay inside their own
walls and they have difficulties in realizing the importance of
elearning
