Summary/Abstract: A recent survey (Elaine Allen & Seaman, 2015) on the state of the art of online higher education in the United States shows that academic leaders consider online learning a key strategic issue for their institutions, and this figure has grown from 48.8% in 2002 to 70.8% in 2015. The major role in education of online learning is also attested by international studies like the Docebo (2014) report that depicts the growing market tendency of e-learning worldwide.
