18. Conclusion
“e-Education should not be viewed as just a
product, an identifiable artifact of learning
objectives, contents and interactions.
e-Education as a product is of uncertain
value until it is deployed in a context that
includes its users, technical & organizational
attributes ” ~ Dr. John Eklund, 2003
