Co-operation between Europe and some Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries on the use of ICT in Education: constrains and opportunities learnt from several European projects

Abstract

Based on previous experience in Southern Europe and Middle-East, potentiality and constraints in collaborative projects are presented. More specifically, a number of EC funded ICT projects, undertaking by countries of these regions and implemented the last seven years, are presented in brief. By the introduction of quality issues and carefully examining a number of constraints and difficulties appeared during the development of these projects, we propose specific recommendations for successful co-operation, especially at a moment of deep and strong changes in these regions.
