This paper reviews the history of E-learning policies, current status, and finally the representative cases in a sequence. Korea made national master plans to be “the most wired nation in the world.” One of the national plans, Comprehensive Plan for ICT in Education (CPIE), began in 1997 as the corner stone of E-learning. The initial stage of the CPIE (1997-2000), focused on ICT infrastructure and ICT literacy set-up, supplying every school classroom with access to Internet service. The second stage with CPIE(II) (2001-2005), has turned its emphasis to the integrated use of ICT in curriculum and information distribution and teachers’ training. CPIE(
), now under design, aims at fundamental change in school education, ushering in an ‘E-learning era.’ The focus of ICT policies for infrastructure in school education has changed. At the beginning the one computer for one teacher or for one classroom was the goal of the policy. However, over time, integrated use of ICT in curriculum has been more focused. Digital contents development and distribution of the public sector from the late 1990s up until now entered into three critical phases: (1) content development- enriching ICT multimedia contents for education, (2) sharingcollecting and distributing contents based on (3) the quality control-reviewing and screening of collected data. In terms of the professional development of teachers, Korean government set up life cycle for professional development for teachers such as (1) standards and models set-up, (2) training programs delivery, and (3) best practices distribution, and followed the cycle. In addition this article described several examples of E-learning in Korea such as Eductional TV programs for the college scholastic ability test, Cyber home learning networks, and Cyber high school.
