MegaTrends was a project to seek to identify the "MegaTrends" in e-learning:

  • what are the rules for achieving critical mass in e-learning
  • what are the rules for moving from a small scale fragile e-learning provider to a large scale permanent and successful e-learning institution.

The project’s aim was to enhance public knowledge on sustainable and cost-effective large-scale e-learning by analyzing the trends and contributions to large-scale success and to identify laws and recommendations for success and failure in e-learning.

The project had the following specific objectives:

  • To identify the MegaTrends of e-learning provision and promulgate them widely.
  • To survey the MegaProviders of e-learning in Europe and publish the listing of institutions that meet the criteria established in the project.
  • To analyze the mega providers of e-learning to identify examples of cost-effective, large scale elearning.
  • To evaluate the mega providers of e-learning to identify examples of sustainable online development
  • To study cost-effectiveness in selected public and private institutions that provide large scale e-learning.
  • To study e-learning initiatives, which did not, reached targeted goals.
  • To identify trends and characteristics of e-learning initiatives which were closed and did not reach targeted goals.
  • To identify and formulate laws and recommendations on e-learning success and failure
  • To valorize and disseminate the results widely both nationally and internationally


Expected Outcomes/Results:

Result 1. The identification of the Mega Trends in e-learning provision.

Result 2. Listing of Mega Providers in e-learning.

Result 3. Toolbox with models and templates for analysis of cost-effectiveness and sustainability

Result 4. Analyses of cases of excellence on cost-effectiveness and sustainability. Evaluations of Mega Providers in e-learning
