Management Issue-the rationale for eLearning• Enhance the quality of teaching/learning
processes (87%)• Very few cases mentioned to economical
issues (13%)– Differently from many American institutions
• All the Swiss Universities don’t think new media as a mean to enlarge their educational market.

Management Issue-Organization• These centers could be classified as
– service centers• test some tools and make them available to the tea
chers– development centers
• try to find and propose new learning solutions – didactical centers
• realize on themselves educational products, hiring competences and teachers from other university departments

Management Issue-eLearning Activities• Almost all universities provide some (software) t
ools that the teacher could ask to use and to be trained and assisted in the utilization
• A group of institutions (11 out of 27) offer a space on a platform
• 27% of the institutions offer some courses completely online
• In few cases we find complete degree programs online, open also to non-residential students

Toward a Taxonomy
• Distance Universities• Dual Mode Universities
– offering courses both for students on the campus and external students
• Campus Universities– introduce eLearning at very different levels,
ranging from the simple support to face-to-face teaching to the delivery of full on-line courses
