As information and communication technology becomes increasingly an integral part of society, and as Koreans grow more dependent on information, the demand for not only a high-quality education but also more sustained and accessible lifelong learning is growing. In South Korea, the demand for e-Learning is growing as a methodology to meet such a demand. Its technological infrastructure, ranked with the world’s most advanced nations, along with strong government support for e-Learning related policies, both provide the necessary conditions for the proliferation and success of e-Learning in Korea. To guarantee success for the next generation of e-Learning in Korea, however, issues regarding quality control, development and maintenance of human resources, improvement of laws and regulations for e-Learning, and efforts to standardize e- Learning technology need to be pushed forward in tandem - not as discrete issues, but as an integral whole.
