“…It has been argued that virtual communities, if specifically adapted to life-long learning settings and not generalized with regard to social networks, are more suitable for educational purposes, thus allowing a better use of social network tools like blogs, wikis, etc [7].…”

The paper explains the effectiveness of flexible learning methodology in engineering courses. This is an attempt to explore the traditional educational methods and to discuss the implications of flexible learning tools in engineering courses. It takes into account the latest application of Web 2.0 and other relevant techniques as well as components of delivery and material and resources needed. The content of this paper is part of ongoing research in engineering education and is a revised and expanded version of a lead paper [18].

“…In this sense, the logic of massive, open courses seemed not to be the best option. Motivations for participants were very concrete, not just a personal educational need; c) we used a platform that is structurally designed to implement the idea of virtual community, rather than simply manage a classroom or a training event [7]. This element allowed us to provide services that are typical of self-organized communities, rather than "classrooms".…”

Abstract-This paper presents a case study of using a Learning Management System and SCORM-based material in order to introduce companies to innovative practices, specifically the use of the Digital Signature and the Certified Electronic email. These two innovations, together with others, have recently become mandatory when enterprises will have to interact with the Italian Public Administration. This is an important push towards innovation through dematerialization processes, but it involves millions of citizens and companies. An enormous training effort is therefore needed to allow the Italian economic system to be aligned with these innovations. The latest example is the electronic invoice, that is mandatory in B2G since 31 st of march 2015: no payments will be made by the Italian Public Administration to Italian companies if the invoice will not be created as an electronically-signed, XML based file. This paper presents our experience in the design, creation and delivery of distance learning material designed with the Chamber of Commerce of Trento, through a description of the project started in 2011 and involving the dematerialization and digitalization of relations between businesses and the Public Administration.

The paper presents an overview of possible application fields of big data to the Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL), with the many different facets this could imply. Many are the benefits for e-learning when approaching the collection of data, especially when elearning is delivered in a life-long learning perspective. All these benefits could impact the future of eLearning, by revolutionizing the way we analyze and assess the eLearning experience. On one side, we present our experience in enriching the persistence layer of an LMS with a deeper log system on users' actions, in the perspective of collecting volumes of data compatible with big data tools and technologies, while highlighting some related issues. On the other hand we will deal with the first applications of cognitive systems that are responsible for catalysing the big data in analytics aimed at e-learning activities.
