CETIS notes, "Following disappointing student numbers and serious difficulty in raising private finance, the UK e-Universities has been asked by government funders to come up with a restructuring plan before April. The emphasis should shift from commercial provision of courses to supporting e-learning development in the state universities." Predicting that the commercial courses model wasn't going to work would have been easy. Predicting that the new orientation won't work either is riskier. But I'm going to make the prediction in any case, even though it will take several years for the failure to become evident.
