ELearning in Universities between War and Peace |
 Zouk Mosbeh (LB), October 2008 - When Lebanon is
in the news, it’s mostly for political conflicts. Behind the scene,
teachers try to offer high-quality education. Kirsten Seegmüller spoke
with Fawzi Baroud, who introduced eLearning at Notre Dame University,
Lebanon, in 2001. The number of students has increased over the years, and
professors believe that they need to meet their learning needs by
integrating technology into teaching. The virtual learning environment
(VLE) not only serves as a supplement of communication during political
and security crises, but beyond that it has become an essential component
in modern teaching.

| EU Sectoral Training |
|
So Far less Effective for Micro-enterprises |
|
Thessaloniki (GR), October 2008 - A Cedefop workshop held in Thessaloniki
on 25-26 September 2008 showed that the sectoral training funds set up in
fifteen European countries are increasingly important means of financing
and delivering targeted training, as well as for providing guidance,
advice, and forecasts on training needs. However, these funds have so far
been less efficient in providing such services to employees of smaller
companies, especially of micro-enterprises (>10 employees).
