Abstract

In the Information Society e-learning represents a powerful approach to knowledge dissemination since e-learning systems allow to create didactic contents and to distribute them without space and time constraints. Universities are certainly the most important institutions involved in e-learning applications. Furthermore, in the Universities relevant investments have been done and many projects have been realized. To this goal, several aspects need to be still analyzed and several difficulties are waiting for acceptable solutions, like those concerning cultural, economical and political aspects that strongly effect the motivations of teachers in adopting e-learning systems and methodologies. In this paper, the e-learning advancements carried out at the University of Bari are presented and some issues concerning teacher interests, needs and expectations are investigated. For this purpose, a on-line questionnaire has been produces and responses are analyzed and discussed.
