Corporate e-learning has emphasized the "e" part more than the "learning" part. That's because the first wave of e-learning was driven by a focus on cost savings. The result? E-learning's dropout rate has been high, close to 80%--a rate that would put any brick-and-mortar university out of business.

Une université virtuelle n'a pas d'identité physique, de murs, ni de lieu et permet beaucoup plus qu'un simple enseignement par correspondance. Elle regroupe sur un serveur accessible par tous dans un réseau ouvert comme le web un corpus d'étudiants et un corpus d'enseignants sur un même thème académique. Les enseignants venus d'horizons divers déposent sur ce serveur des connaissances de base qui peuvent être utilisées à volonté par les étudiants dans des procédures d'enseignements magistraux ou de travaux dirigés en fonction du niveau des étudiants évalués automatiquement par le système. Un accès direct aux enseignants est par ailleurs possible, celui-ci se faisant non seulement sur l'adresse de l'enseignant mais surtout sur ses compétences. 5, record 9, French, - e%2Duniversit%C3%A9
