Hello Nellie,
Yes, we have to research on other countries too...i read one article yesterday how south Africa doing well with e-learning…they are using instructional radio..as defined in e-learning we can use that also. this is cost effective for countries like sri lanka too. Because of our law computer penetration. In sri lanka our literacy rate is more than 90%..one of the best in developing countries. .But compute literacy rate is 10-12%(that also high in capital (Colombo)very law in rural) ..Hence research can be done in many aspects and I see there is a need of separate research center for e-learning with branches(virtual?) in at least 40 capitals in the world. Continuous research will update the situation and will add new knowledge to world too.
