eLearning for growth, jobs and an inclusive society - Europa
eLearning for growth, jobs and an inclusive society: Commissioners Reding and Figel’ welcome a multi-stakeholder drive towards a learning society. A multi-annual, multi-stakeholder drive to build digital competence at home, school and the workplace was launched by Viviane Reding, the Commissioner for Information Society and Media, and Ján Figel’, the Commissioner for Education, Training, Culture and Multilingualism, at a multi-stakeholder conference entitled “Towards a learning society”, in Brussels today. Stakeholders from different disciplines and sectors are working closely together to improve research, innovation and lifelong learning in a “knowledge triangle”, through the effective use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). These technologies have the potential to significantly advance our progress towards the growth and jobs objectives of the revised Lisbon strategy, as new open and flexible forms of ICT supported learning (e-learning) are increasingly being used for the re-skilling of workers. This conference launches a joint initiative by the two Commissioners to continue the dialogue, build-upon the results so far and help set strategic priorities for further work.
