Abstract

In the context of 2009 European Year of Innovation and Creativity, this chapter focuses on ICT for innovation as a key challenge in the knowledge-based society. Today we are facing the growing complexity of the e-learning phenomenon and its role as a basic tool for high quality education and training. The authors approach the importance of e-learning in the European Lifelong Learning Program 2007 – 2013, the conceptual framework of e-learning, the characteristics of a teaching philosophy that provides stability, continuity and long-term guidance in the e-learning environment, the imperative of quality assurance and improvement in e-learning– a new paradigm in higher education systems, and the interdependencies between e-learning, e-inclusion and e-working. The Romanian case is presented as a comparative study with the EU and US standards in higher education.
