Challenges of modeling domain-specific cognitive competencies within the area of generic skills acquisition have to deal with the modeling of domain specific competence development over the life span. They are confronted with at least two major challenges: (a) the stipulation of benchmarks for the judgment of competence development over the life span (for different requirements and standards across the life span) and (b) a coherent modeling of competence development over different educational stages allowing the description of cumulative developmental progress over time (scale anchoring). As for e-learning, especially in sports sciences, it is not yet fully developed. Main reason for not having a wider acceptance of this form of study programs curricula implementation can be contributed not only to technical but to cultural factors as well. Globalized spreading and popularity of sports sciences call for wider students' audience and participation. The competitive university has to appeal to a large number of the international students. Eastern Europe students want to obtain their education in sports for the knowledge sake but also for the license to work as coaches. Therefore, University of Nis and National Sports Academy as the leading educational institutions in their respective countries strive to establish distance learning centers for sports sciences students thus promoting e-learning and development of possible higher level diploma attainment. This paper presents attempts to establish, through IPA cross border cooperation project, joint distance learning centers in Serbia and Bulgaria for sport sciences curricula implementation and dissemination, having students' benefits as primary challenge and goal. | Keywords
