Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, lifelong learning is one of the main priorities in adults’ education. Relying on the physical education and sports field specificity, this paper aims at approaching the possibility to insert the e-learning system into a curriculum designed to improve the in-service teachers’ professional standards. To fulfill this aim, we analyzed the initial and continuing education curricula, namely the bachelor, master and doctoral degrees, as well as the educational programs issued within an institutional project co-financed from the European Funds. We shall synthesize our previous research in this field and we shall emphasize our e-learning institutional experience acquired due to the Comenius project we were involved in. Thus, we identified some premises that could influence the e-learning application to in-service teachers’ continuing education in our specialty domain (ICT use skill level, people’s and institutional attitudes toward ICT, curriculum design). By considering the e-learning system as an opportunity for our institution to develop its own educational system, this research synthesizes the knowledge our future project will rely on.
