E-learning in European Higher Education Institutions 2013

Results of a mapping survey conducted in October-December 2013. The results of this survey are surprising. Apart from a few notable exceptions, almost all institutions are involved in some forms of e-learning. It seems that there has been no sudden and disruptive change, but rather that a gradual adaptation has taken place, which continues at different paces and scales across Europe. Nevertheless institutional responses to MOOCs do suggest that European higher education institutions are capable of responding swiftly to new strategic challenges.

EU. The experience of traineeships in the EU

Traineeships (also known as internships or “stages”) can help young people in the transition from school to employment by providing them with practical, hands-on training in the workplace. Despite this, concerns have been expressed over the working conditions during traineeships and the level of compensation, as well as on the effective learning content of these experiences for young people.
This survey interviewed EU citizens aged 18-35 about their experience with traineeships and the benefits they felt they had received from them.
