E-learning on the move

The British government's e-University, which planned to offer courses via the internet to students all over the world, proved to be an expensive public failure that punctured a lot of the hype surrounding e-learning. The project underlined, however, just how important is an alliance between technologists, academics and students in today's competitive global environment.

One of the most significant developments in educational technology in recent years - mobile learning (m-learning) and the wireless university - demonstrates that, with the relevant planning, e-learning partnerships can be successful.
