E-learning inspires Euro universities - Tracey Caldwell,Information World Review
Universities are embracing e-learning, with three quarters of the major European universities claiming to have either implemented e-learning systems or having plans to implement one within the next three years. A survey of 150 European universities commissioned by e-learning specialist WebCT indicates that student access to electronic resources is expanding fast beyond traditional library resources. The survey found that most universities cited increased quality of education as the main benefit of e-learning, followed by improved access and cost efficiencies. The adoption of e-learning appears to be driving new collaborations that faculty librarians will be forced to track. Around 63% of universities also plan to partner with other institutions both nationally and internationally. The increased availability and flexibility of e-learning solutions will also meet the demand for flexible and distance learning solutions, allowing libraries to attract a wider range of students.
