The Virtual Centre for Enterprise (VCE) is a virtual education centre for the development of entrepreneurial skills and competencies. The centre provides intensive vocational courses (e-learning modules), for (primarily) employed learners. The VCE provides learners with the opportunity to develop their competencies in small pieces (steps) as part of an overall learning strategy. The providers of e-learning modules are well-known higher education institutions all over Europe, which ensures a multilingual approach while also demanding cultural awareness.

In this paper, we propose to develop a methodology that assesses the efficiency of educational lifecycle processes by applying the generic assessment framework of ISO/IEC 15504-2 to ISO/IEC 19796-1. Its purpose is to determine to what extent the education lifecycle processes exist in an organization, and to measure their maturity level. We want to propose this methodology to assess the strength and weakness of the learning services providers, and/or to benchmark their progress in their improvement project. The methodology will provide a framework to assess education lifecycle process in a standard, objective, and repeatable way. It will explain how to realize an education lifecycle process performance and maturity assessment in all its steps.

Being able to effectively present one's idea before a variety of audiences on a range of topics is a key skill for students at the technical university. This paper demonstrates how pechakucha technology can be used to develop presentation skills and team building at undergraduate university departments.

This paper introduces a new set of compact interactive simulations developed for the constructive learning of computer networks concepts. These simulations, which compose a virtual laboratory implemented as portable Java applets, have been created by combining EJS (Easy Java Simulations) with the KivaNS API. Furthermore, in this work, the skills and motivation level acquired by the students are evaluated and measured when these simulations are combined with Moodle and SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) documents. This study has been developed to improve and stimulate the autonomous constructive learning in addition to provide timetable flexibility for a Computer Networks subject.

It is well accepted that ICT and media competencies are indispensable in the modern world, and that education at school and on the level of tertiary education should target to convey corresponding skills. However, there is much less agreement on specific skills that should be included, and there exist quite a few different proposals and approaches under terms such as media literacy, information literacy, and further more. In this paper, we provide an overview on these different concepts, highlight differences and similarities of these, and also discuss the terminology being applied in this context on an international level.

The aims of this paper are to analyse the perception of French students in engineering about the Charter of ethics for engineers and to propose a point of view on the problem of introducing ethics into engineers' training. For this purpose the Conference of Deans of French Engineering Schools and Universities of Technology (CDEFI) did an inquiry among students in engineering in the fall of 2009. 3,589 students in engineering from 106 different schools answered. The characteristics of respondents are consistent with those of the total population of students in engineering with regard to geographical distribution, age, sex and nationality. The results show that 38% of respondents knew the Charter beforehand. Therefore, the inquiry gave 62% of students the opportunity to get to know the Charter. It is considered useful by 62% of respondents and easy to apply by 54%.
