The Education-Observatories site is a web environment presenting the results of a series of eLearning related projects carried on by the MENON Network together with some of the most important actors in the field of ICT supported learning and human resources development in Europe.

All those projects have in common the aim to improve the understanding of the change introduced in European learning settings by the adoption and integration of ICT in education and training with a Lifelong learning perspective.

As you will see by browsing the different projects' pages, we strongly believe that in order to get a an appropriate glance of the current status and of the potential future developments of eLearning, it is important to look in an integrated perspective at:

• eLearning policies (eWATCH and POLE)
• eLearning market, practices and research developments (L-Change)
• eLearning measurement through ad hoc indicators (DELOS)
• eLearning products and processes quality (SEEQUEL)
• eLearning projects and practices adopted in EU funded actions(eLearn)
• students' perspectives and expectations on eLearning (SPOT+)
• regional dimensions of eLearning (ReLL)
• future development scenarios (L-Change and LEONIE)

At the moment the portal is not yet fully operational but wants to be a window on the different observation activities carried on at European, national and regional level by the MENON Network and its partners. More functionalities, such as the Who is Who in eLearning in Europe or an extensive Library, will be made operational soon.
