To achieve these tasks such research methods as nonfiction analysis and summation, expert and user surveys, observation, experiments, statistical analysis were used. The theoretical part explores ECDL certification programmes, ECDL programme development standards, e-Guardian programme part among the ECDL Foundation products. The methods for developing ECDL programmes are described in second part.
