I was recently contacted by Jedlet, an eLearning group in Canada, for comments on an article, discussing eLearning developments in Hungary.

The conclusions? The best you could say is the need is growing, but according to local experts it’s still too early to talk about any kind of ‘breakthrough’.

The most interesting insight came from Dr. Arpad Balogh from the College of Nyiregyhaza:

“We have the largest IT centre in Hungary’s northeastern region, and recently student enrollment has increased from 3,000 to 15,000 students. In order to cope with this increase, we are developing our e-learning initiative rapidly in the hope that the demand on our physical resources will decrease while providing flexibility to both professors and students.”
