Research: Universities in
Europe Plan to Expand Their Use of E-Learning
Those who claim that e-learning has had no real impact
in Higher Education should take note of this survey, admittedly
by WebCT, a vendor in the area:
- 150 organisations surveyed
- 93% of European universities plan to expand their use of e-learning
over the next two years
- 74% say that e-learning plays (or will within 3 years) a major
role across a majority of university courses
- e-learning now a mission critical phenomenon
- increased quality of education number one benefit
- increased access next
- greater cost efficiencies next
- more JVs across institutions to create and share content
One must be a little wary of a vendor driven survey as it is restricted
to their customer base. However, as these companies extend theiractivities
into ever more universities, it has become obvious that e-learning
is a necessary condition for success in a modern university.
