Organizational Aspects and Governance of a Learning Environment Aimed at a Common Curricula for European Senior Civil Servants

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to investigate the benefits of the introduction of a specific online environment in the training process of European civil servants. It includes the final results and the organisational impact of a training course combining 24 h of e-learning courses and 30 h (1 week) of intensive in-class courses. For each module, the e-learning part provided general training contents to enhance participants background required for in-class sessions. Through the designed learning activities and the analysed project results we want to demonstrate the effectiveness of the overall system (tasks, contents and organizational aspects) and promote e-learning adoption in the European Public Administration field. With a view to stimulating co-operation and the exchange of experts’ experience and best practices in Europe, the goal is to identify and test an innovative model of trans-national collaborative learning environment supported by European schools, Public Administration Institutes and e-learning experts.
