3. How European SMEs can be best
supported with the personalisation
of their online training experiences,
and specifically what role
education/training providers and
policy makers should play in this
process.
The workshop aims to bring
together hands-on practitioners and
industry professionals, including
course developers and publishers,
with a shared interest in technology-
enhanced learning.
6. Personal learning is like shopping at a grocery
store. You need to assemble the ingredients
yourself and create your own meals. It’s harder,
but it’s a lot cheaper, and you can have an
endless variety of meals. Sure, you might not
get the best meals possible, but you control the
experience, and you control the outcome.
Personalized learning is like being served at a
restaurant. Someone else selects the food and
prepares it. There is some customization – you
can tell the waiter how you want your meat
cooked – but essentially everyone at the
restaurant gets the same experience.
8. Just for me, just in time
learning
Learning is ubiquitous, as it takes place
in all means, at all time and everywhere.
Learning today can take many forms,
such as formal, informal and non-normal
and take place anywhere and anytime.
Whoever we are, wherever we live we
are presented with opportunities to learn
every day of our life. Humans are
learning throughout life, as life is
learning humans throughout.
9. INNOVATIVE LEARNING
SPACES
With the rapid advancements in economy, technology
and society in general, that occurred in the last decades
of the 20th Century, the demands on the educational
system increased in a number of ways for the 21st
century. Critical thinking, collaboration, innovation,
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT),
digital literacy, adaptiveness, are some of the basic
skills that students and citizens of today and of
tomorrow are asked to possess in order not only to fill
the industry demands but also to survive and function in
society

13. NGDLE is conceived as both an ecosystem and a
mind-set that will allow students and instructors to
benefit from the full range of developments
education. The NGDLE concept seeks a balance
between the openness of learning and the need for
coherence in the environment. The concept empha-
sizes personalization, collaboration, and
accessibility/universal design—all essential to
learning. Because the NGDLE conceives of learning as
happening in an ecosystem and not within a
platform, it focuses not on IT but on learning
enablement.

15. …must address five dimensions: interoperability and
integration, to allow parts to be connected and share data;
personalization, so that learning environments and activi-
ties can be tailored to individual users and academic de-
partments; analytics, advising, and learning assessment,
encompassing course-level learning analytics, as well as
planning and advising systems that focus on overall student
success; collaboration, because the ability to easily work
across conventional boundaries is fundamental to effective
learning; and accessibility and universal design
