Division 3.6.3 Description of the project

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The project will focus on the worldwide dissemination and use of the e-learning tool, which was developed under Decision 2014/129/CFSP.

For this purpose the user-friendliness of the e-learning site and the associated Certificate Section will be enhanced continuously, based on participant feedback and on the evaluation of user behaviour through various statistical tools. Special attention will be devoted to the upgrade of the e-learning offer for users with visual or hearing impairments, in order to facilitate the barrier-free usage of the course and allow for a maximum of potential participants. Also, the intelligibility of the whole course will be enhanced through a comprehensive language review provided by specialised English native speakers.

All 15 Learning Units will be updated in order to provide students with the most actual facts and figures. Outreach and support to educational institutions will allow easy integration of the e-learning into university master's programmes and other educational offers, and encourage worldwide usage of the e-learning course.

Up to five additional Learning Units will be developed and launched between 2018 and 2020. The additional e-learning content will be developed in close consultation with the EEAS and the Member States and can fall in one of the following categories:

  1. (a)

    Advanced Learning Unit, elaborating on existing course content and providing more in-depth knowledge;

  2. (b)

    Practical Learning Unit, focusing on practical implementation issues of non-proliferation or export control regimes;

  3. (c)

    Academic Learning Unit, providing theoretical reflections on non-proliferation and disarmament;

  4. (d)

    Supportive Learning Unit, providing critical knowledge to better understand the broad problematique of non-proliferation and disarmament (e.g. legal, financial or ethical aspects);

  5. (e)

    Customised Learning Unit, supporting specific classroom training courses and used in combination with those courses (‘blended learning’).
