This study's purpose was to survey the literature on European Union (EU) e-learning strategies specifically related to two mainline e-learning projects: the learning Action Plan and the E-Learning Program. Results of the evaluation and interpretation of the literature show that the European Commission has positively impacted European Union countries that participated in the projects through multiple and transversal actions and interactions, including: (a) providing necessary infrastructures and equipment; (b) implementing teacher training; (c) delivering quality content and services; (d) encouraging cooperation and networking; (e) promoting digital literacy; and (f) launching European virtual campuses and twinning schools (primary and secondary) via the Internet. The European Commission should continue to fund this critical research as a means of furthering Europe's move toward a knowledge-based society.
