What are E-modules?

E-modules are courses that are taught by one or several teachers from the e-LERU partner universities through blended or online learning activities. The level and sort of collaboration between the tutors and between the students may differ depending on the choices made by the tutors. The level of digitization of the course may differ as well, meaning some courses will be more "blended" (including online and face-to-face activities) thank others.

In 2009, the e-LERU partner universities decided to put new life into the project, now financed by partner universities themselves. The general priorities of the new e-LERU initiative are:

• Complementary training offers rather than offers in core competences to create synergies
• The new e-LERU initiative aims at a stronger commitment of the academic teachers
  themselves. The raison d’être for setting up a common course has to reside in
  pedagogic needs not technology
• Initiation of pilot projects between a small number of partners, that can be rejoined by other
  participants later on. Projects can have different origins. They can either start in one university
  and being extended to e-LERU partner universities or being created collectively.
