What Keeps Universities from Embracing e-Learning? - Peter Cheese, Learning and Training Innovations

Much of the focus in e-learning today--from analysts, industry observers, consultants, and technologists--is on e-learning in the corporate world. But the biggest impact and opportunity for e-learning may ultimately be in education. Most governments want to raise the skills and education level of its population, but to date e-learning has had little impact in this area. E-learning can potentially transform education at every level. It can make high-quality educational experiences available to those whose location, economic, and personal constraints have prevented them from pursuing their educational goals. These learners also represent a wider student market for universities and other education establishments.
