''The following list includes the institutions which [[The e-University Compendium]] and the UNESCO [http://www.unesco.org/iiep/virtualuniversity/linksliste.php IIEP List] identified as worthy of consideration as virtual universities. In the next phase, we have also included many of the accredited open universities around the world, and virtual e-learning initiatives mentioned in other research projects or relevant sources of information.'' 

You can have a look at our [[original list of programmes.]] For various sources of information please check our [[Publications]] page.

We present the interesting programmes here as European versus Rest of The World. We appreciate that reaching a common agreement as to what constitutes ‘Europe’ is quite a complex task and one which reaches beyond the boundaries of a European Project like Re.ViCa. We have therefore taken the decision as a project team to use a definition of Europe that fits between a narrow definition of Europe as being made up of the 27 member states of the European Union and the broader geographic definition of Europe. We define Europe for the purposes of our work in Re.ViCa as including the countries of the EU, EEA and Switzerland. This means that the ‘Rest of the World’ refers to all countries which do not fall within this definition of Europe. Each Notable e-Learning Initiative is categorized and you can find per entry, to what category they belong. If you click on the category, you can find all other initiatives that belong to that category. You can find for example all "private providers" or "national initiatives".
