Abstract
This article presents the results of the trials carried out within the Advenus project - Developing online resources for adult refugees (funded with the support of the European Commission, project ref. no. 2016-1-NO01-KA204-022090). Advenus aims at improving and extending the offer of high quality, culturally sensitive open access e-learning resources to adult refugees between the age of 18-40 and their trainers and teachers in EU countries. In detail, some preliminary considerations are made on the trials of five e-learning courses carried out in four countries, i.e. Norway, Italy, Portugal, and Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, for a total number of 267 refugees and asylum seekers involved in the project. Results show an high variability of the starting levels of learners with reference to the language of the hosting country, to basic e-skills and to education levels, and therefore the crucial need to design eLearning resources for different entry levels, connected with learners' needs and daily life experiences, preferably in hybrid forms of ICT supported learning, with face-to-face interventions.
