eLearning Survey: What Is the Extent of eLearning in Europe?
European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training, Thessaloniki (Greece).
The extent of electronic learning (eLearning) was examined in an online survey to which 650 individuals responded. Of the responses, 84% were from European Union countries; 9% were from elsewhere in Europe; 5.5% were from the rest of the world; and nearly 2% did not specify a country. The types of responding organizations included universities/colleges of further/higher education (21%), private training companies/organizations (18%), public vocational education and training organizations (15%), and private/public organizations with internal and external training services (11%). The responses established that as a part of total training supply revenue, electronic learning is rapidly increasing its share of total materials revenue from around 23% in 1999 to around 38% in 2001, whereas the proportion of all revenue from capital accounted for by electronic learning has remained flat at around 50% between 1999 and 2001. Other findings were as follows: (1) demand for electronic learning and expenditure by training users/purchasers of electronic learning materials are expected to grow rapidly across Europe; (2) electronic learning methods are most common for training in information and communication technologies, management, and new product or service training; and (3) companies with 50 or fewer employees tend to make greater use of electronic learning methods than larger companies do.
