ABSTRACT
Because ICT is becoming an ubiquitous tool in practically all the aspects that concern our society,this graduation project is focussed on finding out the requirements, among the key stakeholdersof the learning society environment (the so called Educational Market), for boosting theimplementation of e-learning solutions. For achieving this objective, the project addresses thetransition between the traditional learning methods (AS-IS) and the innovative methods used in e-learning (TO-BE). The reasons for incorporating ICT into the educational process are: to enhancethe quality of learning, to maintain a competitive advantage, and to improve the access toeducation.The project follows the stages of a regulative cycle, the FAST methodology. In the first part, weanalyze the current situation of the key stakeholders in the three scales (institutions,organizations and persons) of the Learning Society by using repository content elements tables.In the second part, by means of Project Charters, the analyses are focussed on the desiredsituation that can be achieved thanks to e-learning. And finally, the third part is an evaluationphase which is aiming to find the requirements for closing the gap between the current and thedesired situations.
