HELIOS Policy Priorities Research Themes

• Collecting information is certainly useful, but
  putting the right questions is key!
• To what extent eLearning is an effective means
  to improve access to learning opportunities?
  Year1
• How much eLearning helping European citizens to
  achieve better employability? Year 1
• In which way is eLearning contributing to
  personal development and citizenship in a
  Lifelong Learning perspective? Year 1
• Is eLearning a facilitator of organisational
  change in eLearning users organisations, such as
  companies, public administration, educational
  institutions? Year 2
• Which impact has eLearning on the
  internationalisation of ET systems in
  Europe? Year 2
• How and how much eLearning is supporting
  innovation processes in ET organisations? Year 2

The Role of WP2 Thematic Analysis The
Research/Experts Point of View

• Starting point and first step of the
  Implementation Phase
• Based primarily on Desk Research with punctual
  input from CEDEFOPs European Network of
  Reference and Expertise (ReferNet)
• Aimed at gathering and critically analysing
  information and data on the i) development of
  e-Learning in Europe and ii) the contribution of
  e-Learning to Policy Priorities
• Foundation for the Online Survey Questions of
  WP3 Thematic Surveys
• Complements the findings coming from WP3
  Thematic Surveys
• Results gathered in 6 Thematic Analysis Reports
• Results contribute to the HELIOS Yearly Reports.

The Role of WP3 Thematic Surveys The
Stakeholders Point of View

• Second step in the Implementation Phase
• Based primarily on Field Research i.e. on
  thematic web based surveys through CEDEFOPs
  European Training Village (ETV)
• Aimed at investigating the opinion of users of
  e-Learning on the i) development of e-Learning
  in Europe and ii) the contribution of e-Learning
  to Policy Priorities
• Target groups are users, practitioners,
  researchers and policy makers registered in the
  European Training Village (ETV)
• Complements the findings coming from WP2
  Thematic Analysis
• Results gathered in 6 Thematic Survey Reports
• Results contribute to the HELIOS Yearly Reports.
