Sheffield University joins e-learning converts - James Mortleman, VnuNet

Huge surge in demand sees more than 12,000 students accessing courses online. Sheffield has joined the growing list of universities deciding to invest in a major expansion of e-learning. The university is upgrading its WebCT virtual learning environment to the latest version, WebCT Vista, which will allow it to meet growing demand from students for courses to be made available online. The decision follows similar moves by other universities such as Coventry and City (London). Sheffield has been using e-learning for around six years, but its popularity has grown hugely in the past two or three years.
