The results of several studies conducted to analyze the quantitative and qualitative use of learning technologies in Higher Education in Portugal showed that, in general, these technologies are not used systematically and effectively and e-learning platforms tend to be relegated to repositories of contents rather than as full-fledged tools actively enabling and promoting learning. Several gaps were also identified at the management, pedagogical and technical levels. Following best-practice in this domain, a holistic intervention including these three levels is crucial to achieve positive results. Therefore, following these studies, a set of guidelines and recommendations was created to raise the level of technology adoption in higher education and improve the educational performance of each institution by raising teaching/learning levels so that they are in accordance with the Bologna paradigm. This way it is possible to have a systematic approach, expanding the intervention to the entire institutional campus and resulting in an effective learning platform usage by teachers and students.
