Overview of European educational projects on eLearning and related methodologies: Data from Erasmus+ Project Results Platform

Collecting data from Erasmus+ projects related to eLearning and the associated methodologies in order to detect those that have been identified as good practice or success story could be very useful in order to help teachers to define success projects in that field. In order to compile projects of interest, we have the Erasmus+ Project Results Platform, which has a very useful information database to locate educational projects that have been funded by the European Union. This database compiles European educational projects that have been developed in Erasmus+ and also in previous programs such as Lifelong Learning Programme since 2007. The advantage of using this tool is that it has a search engine that allows you to search by keywords and has different criteria to filter. It also allows you to export up to a maximum of 1000 projects per search in excel format with basic data from the filtered projects. Therefore, using this tool is key to be able to identify good practices in European educational projects that serve as a reference to find the parameters useful for learning improvement. This article presents the main data collected from the analysis of educational projects that are connected with eLearning and related methodologies in the aforementioned platform. It also defines which ones will be selected to be able to address an adequate analysis that is manageable to carry out the definition of a methodological guide. As a result of the initial analysis, it is considered appropriate to carry out a review of the projects linked to eLearning in KA1 and KA2 actions that have more than 50 projects connected to this topic, involving educational centers, and that are labelled as good practice and / or success story. With the projects that meet these criteria, there is enough information to achieve the objectives of the research in order to be able to design a methodological guide with the key aspects for implementing eLearning projects.
