Survey Shows eLearning On Up - Kathryn Hughes, ELearning Scotland
Despite the relentless pressure on higher education to accomplish more with less funding, colleges and universities are intensifying their investment in e-learning, according to an independent survey of customers of WebCT, provider of e-learning solutions. These institutions are relying on the use of e-learning to enhance education, compete for students and reduce costs. Thirty-seven percent of the surveys 416 respondents say they have implemented e-learning institution-wide, up from 25 percent in 2002. Student participation in e-learning is growing at a 31 percent rate each year, and faculty members are catching up to the demand with a 44 percent aggregate growth rate in e-learning participation, according to the survey. The survey results indicate e-learning is no longer a peripheral part of education at colleges and universities around the world and that demand for e-learning is being driven in the main by students.
