Abstract
The dynamic evolution of competences required by professions has to match ever-evolving contexts, in which the growth of the demand of new professionals, poses the threat of a skill shortage. The role of learning and training is strategic to this regard, also thanks to the use of on-line and distance learning that use Internet based technologies to allow learning to be administered in context different than the traditional face-to-face. Literature highlights that e-learning has to be implemented following specific strategies. Within this perspective, this chapter presents and discusses the recent experiences of the public policies for e-learning in Italy.
