ElCoP

ElCoP or e-Learning Developers' Community of Practice is a decision of European ANS trailing providers together with EUROCONTROL to create an e-learning developers community of practice as from January 2009.

The aims of this community of practice will be:
* to share knowledge and information on e-learning development matters between its members,
* to develop common deliverables, and
* to improve EUROCONTROL deliverables, such as the best practice documentation for e-learning development and the digital learning asset sharing platform.

History

Historically, ElCoP is the successor to the e-Learning Developers’ Task Force [EDTF] which was created in 2006 to develop a network of European e-learning developers involved in ANS training.

This group had the tasks of developing best practices in e-learning development and a platform which would enable users to share digital learning assets.

Even though EDTF finished these tasks in 2008,its members believed that there is added value in keeping a community of practice alive which would enable participants to learn from each other, to share best practices and to develop common deliverables together. They suggested ElCoP.

ElCoP will start work in the first quarter of 2009.
