The “E”-Factor of the Educational System: The Electronic Platform

Abstract

As part of a modern approach towards any (distance) learning system, the electronic platform has started being acknowledged as a useful and valid teaching instrument. The present paper focused on gathering and interpreting data relevant for this assertion, as well as on establishing which factors can influence the possible ascension of an e-platform to the position of a central didactic tool in any future core curricula design. A survey was conducted by the authors on participants in a European project on professional reconversion and the findings both confirm and challenge the assumptions and expectations of the two researchers.
