• The question wording was simplified.
• Two answer options were added and one was removed, as indicated in the table with
‘(2005 only)’ and ‘(2003 only)’ respectively.
We also asked in an open question how conformance/compliance to e-learning standards
and specifications (e.g. SCORM, IMS content packaging, IMS, QTI) influenced the choice of
VLE(s). (Question 4.3) This has resulted in a long list of answers. These can be found in the
separate document ‘e-learning survey 2005 - listed answers’.
