According to the authors, "eLearning (in Europe) has almost completely disappeared from top-level policy speeches, both as a term suspected of having lost its impact, and - more seriously- as a significant component of educational policy." This comes four years after the onset of a significant e-learning initiative in Europe. But there was, in fact, "lack of persistence on the concept and practice of the eLearning Initiative: in fact real co-ordination of the EU intervention in this domain has been given up." The emphasis was on European competitiveness, rather than learning, and on formal institution-based learning rather than "post-initial, non-formal and informal learning, where the use of ICT may be integrated without facing a strong institutional resistance or at least inertia."
