Resumen

La economía del e-learning se identificó como una prioridad clave en el taller de asesoría de campus virtuales celebrado en Bruselas el 23 de noviembre de 2004. Con esta idea, el proyecto eLene-EE (Economía del e-learning) ha tratado de ampliar el conocimiento relativo a los incentivos para crear campus virtuales e iniciar métodos de enseñanza en la educación basada en las TIC y sus efectos, asegurando que esto se lleve a cabo eficazmente mientras refleja las diferentes situaciones de las universidades asociadas. Este número especial de RUSC sobre la economía del e-learning muestra el marco teórico que hemos definido y algunos de los resultados que hemos obtenido en el proyecto eLene-EE, que ha sido financiado por la Comisión Europea.

Nuestros resultados tienen unas implicaciones políticas claras y ayudarán a los diseñadores, estudiantes, financieros y gestores de e-learning a crear, adaptar y mejorar sus iniciativas. El proyecto se divide en cinco paquetes de trabajo de investigación y desarrollo (WP) integrados por participantes de universidades del consorcio eLene (universidades de Suecia, Francia, España, Italia y Polonia).
