Netherlands from Re.ViCa

The Netherlands is the host of the Open Universiteit Nederland (Dutch Open University) and of the former Dutch Digital University.

A survey of virtual university activity in the Netherlands was produced in 2001 for HEFCE and updated in summer 2004. It is called Impact of the Internet on Higher Education in the Netherlands and was written by Petra Boezerooy and Eric Beerkens with the assistance of Professor Betty Collis, Jeroen Huisman and Professor Jef Moonen. It is now rather out of date.
