Large companies rely more and more on e-learning/ICT in the field of continuing education. According to the Menon Interim Report , there is a trend towards bottom-up informal and formal learning which is facilitated by e-learning. In contrast, SMEs still lag behind and show a deficit concerning the use of ICT and e-learning as a support tool for learning, networking and organising.

Nevertheless, when dealing with regional learning, it is important to see that content, structure and methods need to be adapted to the relevant actor group as participation in (e-) learning networks is dependent on a variety of factors. In the case of regional e-learning networks, we see that the following three factors need to be taken into account:

* '''Content related dimension''': Learning has to be seen on different levels, ranging from basic education at school to tertiary education and further education. In the practice of (e-)learning networks, it is important to know what information is made accessible to which regional actor group. Visitors/beginners are usually people who access information but do not actively participate; the information made accessible must therefore be more reduced as compared to regulars who actively participate and thus create. It is also crucial to know which technological and methodological requirements as well as competencies from the learners’ side are important for which actor group.
