Are you being served? Students' E-learning needs - A survey

The introduction and implementation of e-learning in Belgian university education is a hot topic. In this paper we present the main results of a study concerning students' learning needs. Our analysis focuses on the type of academic education they prefer, which e-learning facilities they expect and how they perceive the consequences of internet based education. The data reveal that VUB students want a blended educational system, with considerable e-learning aspects but no genuine distance education. They show a multitude of negative and positive attitudes toward the impact of e-learning.
