In Korea, e-learning is becoming increasingly prevalent and spreading into various aspects of human resources development. Korea's Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development (MOEHRD) and Ministry of Labor (MOL) have been especially active in establishing the legal basis and institutional framework to make e-learning a reality. E-learning in Korea revolves mainly around cyber universities, which are supported by the MOEHRD, and around e-learning programs targeting workers to develop their vocational potential, which are sponsored by the MOL. Both forms of e-learning suffer from the following problems: (1) programs are designed and provided for a limited target group; (2) quality control of programs' content and methods of instruction is insufficient and inefficient; and (3) the roles of the different actors involved in e-learning have yet to be clarified sufficiently. Although Korean adults are generally well aware of e-learning and have high expectations of it, they remain relatively uninformed about the various support systems and government policies promoting it. The following recommendations were presented: (1) foster participation in e-learning by expanding and diversifying the base of e-learning participation; (2) enhance the quality of e-learning, including by strengthening institutions' autonomy and accountability; and (3) maximize e-learning's potential through networking, informalization, and standardization.
