Emergent Learning Model The ELM is an attempt to take forward the Open Context Model of Learning, which essentially are fresh ideas about how to re-conceptualise the processes of learning by taking account of the affordances of web 2.0 technologies. The Open Context Model of Learning is a way of thinking about the relationships of learning such that a (teacher) develops both a subject understanding as well as an ability in the (learner) to take forward their learning in that subject. That is often taken to mean through classroom interactions, but it doesn't have to mean only that, it could start with learner interactions; conversations, interests and collaboration.

The Heutagogic Archives provides comment on various aspects of 21st Century Learning from the perspective of the Learner-Generated Contexts Research Group. They are written by fred garnett (at gmail) and are sometimes complemented by comments from some of the others in that loose affiliation. The title comes from the Open Context Model of Learning, our view of a post web 2.0 pedagogy which incorporates the heutagogic playing with form, based on andragogic collaboration, that allows us to create something new; innovatively opening up possibilities for new futures; what we call the PAH Continuum, best discussed in the Craft of Teaching 2011. We would like to see learner-centred co-creation processes driving the education system.

"Le processus de Copenhague en Suisse La Suisse accueille favorablement et poursuit les objectifs du processus de Copenhague. Les bases sont notamment l'élaboration d'un cadre national des certifications pour les diplômes de la formation professionnelle (CNC-CH-FP), ainsi que le référencement par rapport au cadre européen des certifications pour l'éducation et la formation tout au long de la vie (CEC). La pertinence et la possibilité de mise en œuvre des autres instruments du processus de Copenhague est continuellement évaluée par le SEFRI. L'objectif consiste à positionner le système de formation professionnelle duale de la Suisse et en particulier la formation professionnelle supérieure au niveau international."

There is a huge variety of eInclusion Intermediary actors and roles. Most of these actors belong to the public sector (58%) and mainly consist of public libraries, municipal/local government organizations and government-run telecentres. Third sector organizations make up almost 40% of the sample and include associations, charitable organizations, or foundations and NGOs combined. The private sector (6%) is mostly represented by private training organizations and cybercafés.  The majority of eInclusion intermediaries are small organizations with less than ten employees and operating budgets of less than €100,000. In addition, network membership seems particularly relevant as 60% of these organizations belong to one or more networks.  The services most often offered to users are a) ICT access to computers and the Internet (88% of the organisations offer this) and b) Basic ICT digital literacy training (80%). Employment-related training services are offered by half of the intermediaries. Finally, access to government and social services and access to online courses is offered by 45% of the organizations. The research estimated that there are almost 250,000 eInclusion organizations in the EU27, or an average of one eInclusion organization for every 2,000 inhabitants.

This project sought to assist partner countries move to EQARF through transferring an online assessment tool, developed on a previous project to meet the needs of EFQM and ISO 9000, and adapting it to the requirements of national and other quality frameworks in use in these countries. By extending an already existing TQM model based on the requirements of both EFQM and EQARF, the ACES solution helps to allow a better approach to benchmarking in the VET sector across the EU. After the piloting of the solutionnacross the partner countries,a number of case studies were written up based on the findings of the testers.
