Resum

Els aspectes econòmics de l'aprenentatge electrònic es van identificar com a una de les prioritats clau al taller de consulta de Campus Virtuals celebrat a Brussel·les el 23 de novembre de 2004. En aquest sentit, el projecte eLene-EE (Economics of E-learning) ha volgut augmentar el coneixement relatiu als incentius per crear campus virtuals i per posar en marxa mètodes d'ensenyament en educació basats en les TIC i els seus efectes, tot garantint que això es faci d'una manera eficient i que alhora reflecteixi les diverses situacions de les universitats membre. Aquest número especial de la revista RUSC sobre els aspectes econòmics de l'aprenentatge electrònic exposa el marc teòric que hem definit i alguns dels resultats que hem obtingut dins el projecte eLene-EE, que ha estat finançat per la Comissió Europea.
