This conference edition of the EJEL contains a selection of the papers which were presented at the fourth European Conference on e-Learning (ECEL) conference held in Amsterdam during November 2005. The papers selected for publication reflect the diversity of the conference.
E-learning is a rapidly developing subject; within the last decade it has developed from a subject that was of little interest to academics in either their research or teaching, to a subject that produces high quality research and is used by many institutions. However there are still detractors from the e-learning, who remain sceptical that is of any real value.
Throughout the conference the theme of presentations reflected the presenters' passion for e-learning and the strong belief that e-learners deserve high quality material and the impact of using e-learning needs to be evaluated. It is with real empirical measurements alongside the passion of exponents that those who doubt the worth of e-learning will be convinced.
