How well are web education systems performing? : E-learning, available at the click of a mouse, is an important component of Europe's strategy to make lifelong learning a reality for its citizens. However, many different software packages exist for designing and maintaining learning systems. This project has conducted a timely survey of people with real expertise in the field to compile a picture of just how effective the various packages are. For anyone considering designing an e-learning project, the results of this survey will be a great help to them in making an informed choice on software. This project started in 2000 and lasted 24 months.
