Abstract: 

The European Universities are developing a reform process 
in order to adapt themselves to the European Higher Education 
Area (EHEA) formally defined since the declaration of Bologna.  
An important part of that process will require organizational 
changes about teaching and learning at 2 levels: a Macro level 
where Universities will have to carry out the design of 
Educational Plans for the different degrees, and a Micro level, 
where every Lecturer (or group of Lecturers) will have to deal 
with his/her own subject. An important part of the changes is 
focused in the use of new technologies, more specifically the 
use of the known as platforms of e-learning, used like tools of 
communication and collaboration that facilitate the management 
of the different resources that are handled by the teaching 
staff (Macro level); moreover they are a natural way to improve 
the educational methodology in which the convergence to EHEA is 
sustained (Micro level). The first part of the talk will focus 
on the Convergence at the European level; while the second part 
will report on how e-learning can be used towards European 
Convergence.
