Abstract: The European Commission placed e-learning on the top of its political agenda, calling for education and training systems to be adapted to meet this challenge. E-learning and Web 2.0 technologies contribute education and training to meet this aim by fostering the integration of ICT in educational process as a lever for change and as an opportunity for increasing quality, convenience, diversity and effectiveness of education. The paper describes one of the possible approaches to the development of Vocational Educational and Training (VET) EduCenter (www.educenter.eu) focussing on the presentation of five main elements of the centre (e-learning solutions, e-learning environment, communications, content repository and other tools) and the proposed methodology of e-learning, education and training for teachers of general and vocational subject in VET schools. Special attention is paid to the project »e4VET«, which presents an integral part of the Leonardo da Vinci – Tra!
nsfer of Innovation – Lifelong Learning Programme aimed at supporting the role of innovation process in improving the quality in Vocational education and training systems.
