Gardner & McMullan 1990 – The quest for the best methods of providing computer/information technology literacy and competence for school pupils has taxed the British education system for almost three decades.

Lessons to be learned from the failure of the UK e-University
by Richard Millwood — published Jun 30, 2008 — last modified Apr 05, 2011 10:42 PM
Paul Bacsich 2005. The UK’s attempt to develop a global e-university ended in public failure in 2004. The main focus of this paper is to exploit the failure as a case study to update the literature on ‘critical success factors’ for virtual universities and so provide lessons for e-universities worldwide. However, since much of the public comment was superficial or ill-informed, it is also inevitably in part a critique of the public view. Although several alleged reasons for failure were incorrect or specific to the era, some of the real reasons still have much relevance to the worldwide scene.
