This paper focuses on education, training, teachers and students starting from a general perspective in order to discuss two specific case studies. The article aimed to define education and the role of the teacher and of the learner, moving on to the greater than ever need for e-learning (virtual modules, electronic resources, online learning and teaching) and ending with the case studies of Finland and Romania. Based on my personal experience as student and teacher in Romania and the chance to experience Finnish educational services as an Erasmus teacher, this paper analyzed both theoretical and practical aspects related to: education, teaching, learning, elearning, developing and maintaining a sustainable platform and adapting to new teaching and learning models. Additionally using theoretical sources, the current research considered the similarities and the differences between the two education systems and emphasized the importance of incorporating other countries' experience into Romania's brighter future.
