This article reproduces a chapter of the Study of the e-learning suppliers’ “market” in Europe conducted on behalf of the European Commission, DG Education and Culture by the Danish Technological Institute, in partnership with independent consultant, Jane Massy, Alphametrics Ltd. and Heriot-Watt University.
The study began with desk research between November 2003 and January 2004 (Phase 1), development of 16 suppliers’ case studies in the spring of 2004 (Phase 2) and future analysis of the sector over the summer 2004 (Phase 3).
