Abstract
Lessons learned from a study of the e-Learning experience at traditional universities in South Korea are discussed and how e-Learning could be improved in the future is explored. Lecturers and learners show different attitudes in terms of their expectations of e-Learning.From this research, it is concluded that the current quality of e-Learning is not fully mature and problems remain with regard to socialization, standardization, student motivation, content re-use and the support of ubiquitous learning.
