Abstract

Nowadays technology is seen as an important tool for improving the educational methods at all levels. This has implications for both general and specific education such as management training. Some of the advantages identified in general education include no time limits or geographical barriers and the ability to teach more people without additional cost. In particular, in Europe digital literacy is emerging as a new key competency required by workers and citizens for the Knowledge Society (European Commission, 2005). Therefore, the integration of IT-supported learning could help workers acquire the necessary skills and knowledge for their job (European Commission, 2005) and if the student learns the use of technology before starting his/her job, this could be an advantage for both the future professional and the employer. Besides, the use of IT can improve the effectiveness of the learning process.
