Barriers to Learning Online - Sohn Hong-keun, Korea Times
At an international education forum in Australia, Ross Bosanquet of the Australian Instructional Management Systems (IMS) Center, said, "...linked to international standards, we'll be leaving the way wide open for technology-savvy overseas alliances to come in and offer a very competitive alternative..." It would be possible for students to acquire a degree over Internet by selecting courses from a wide range of universities and colleges on different continents. He went on, "...education institutions will need to take e-learning as seriously as business takes e-commerce..." The message on the inevitable revolution of e-learning and online learning systems is reality today. Worldwide alliances of higher educational institutions are fast taking over the traditional campus and classroom settings. Globalized education network expenditure would rise more than $4 trillion by the end of this year, while e-commerce is expected to grow beyond $200 billion.
