In the restructuring and reforming of European education, e-learning has become one of the priorities of the Ministry of Education, Higher Education and Research in France. Since 2001, e-learning virtual campuses have been promoted by the state. Within the context of Economics and Management, the CANEGE project (CAmpus Numérique en Economie-GEstion) was created. Identified as a form of network organisation, this virtual campus will be explored in this chapter in relation to its functioning and its management. Through the academic literature covering network organisation, the main purpose of this chapter is to make recommendations and establish best practices regarding the management of e-learning virtual campuses based on the CANEGE experience. This chapter explores what the authors consider to be the most relevant aspects that need to be considered in relation to the establishment and implementation of virtual campus initiatives that comprise several partners.

This paper presents some aspects of the need for training and EU best practices and success stories replication to target countries (Morocco and Jordan) in order to establish or upgrade the advanced textile centers. Overall, the proposed teaching and e-learning methods and the aspects of the need for training and EU best practices implementation and success stories replication to target countries (Morocco and Jordan) in order to establish or upgrade the advanced textile centers are essential for higher education organizations involved. In the framework of the FOSTEX Erasmus+ project were identified the best practices across Europe with high potential for being transferrable to the partner countries (Morocco and Jordan) including aspects concerning learning, teaching (courses), dissemination, quality testing, international standardization, equipment, and research projects. We can conclude that the interest of the partners is focused on polymers, protective clothing tests, colour management, product certification, international accreditation, environmental impact (Reach Legislation), colour fastness, washing fastness, and physico-mechanical investigation.

This article analyzes the results of the Saber Pro, the state exam for students completing higher education, during 2007–2017 concerning the English language section. This analysis uses the reports and databases from the Instituto Colombiano para la Evaluación de la Educación (ICFES) repository and explains the policy in its historical context. The results warn of a quite worrying picture between the goals established by the Ministry of Education and the final achievements. The level of English of future Colombian professionals is not only very low but also without improvement from its beginnings in 2007 to 2017. As a conclusion, it would be necessary to review, from the universities’ perspective, the language educational policy and propose bottom-up structural alternatives that allow a sustained impulse in teacher training, methodology, and curricular and pedagogical organization.
