After a period of testing and exploring the potential of technology-enhanced learning in different contexts, there is a broad consensus that much more effort should be put into the question of quality improvement. The quality of both the products and programs in the field of ITC-based learning vary widely and there is still lacking a concept of quality improvement which is theoretically sound and at the same time meeting the expectations of practice.

The fundamental objective of the EFMD CEL programme is to raise the standard of technology-enhanced management programmes worldwide. EFMD CEL aims to facilitate standard setting, benchmarking, mutual learning, and the dissemination of good practice. It allows for different approaches and diversity in designing and implementing such programmes. EFMD CEL is directed towards educational management programmes incorporating ITC-based learning.
