E-Services for an Electronic Education Market

Abstract

More and more universities, companies and other organizations are supplying products and services for media-based education and training. The customers are not only students but also an increasing number of working people looking for continuing education. Supporting the convergence of supply and demand electronically in this context is truly challenging. The concept of an electronic market for e-learning is introduced. This marketplace offers services for both suppliers and customers applying the electronic commerce paradigm to the delivery of education and training.
