Abstract (EN): Partners in E-View project (http://www.e-view-project.eu/) are developing and piloting a European Virtual Campus aimed at learners in the work place which will focus on enhancing their management skills and competences within a European context. The project began with a needs analysis followed by the creation of the Virtual Campus Framework. This framework utilizes a customized open source delivery methodology and a work-based learning module based on the needs analysis aimed at trainee managers of all ages in European enterprises. The module with an emphasis on working within Europe is being piloted with employees in the UK, Poland, Portugal and Ireland involving four employers. Concrete outcomes from E-View include a Virtual Campus Framework for Work-based learning (WBL) with a sample undergraduate module, a pilot implementation of this course and an online handbook with a description of the experiences gained in creating and delivering this course in the Virtual Campus Framework for Work-based Learning.
