Strategic planning of e-learning innovation: Interplay between national and institutional levels

In last few decades E-learning has been established as a recognized form of education. E-learning offers good opportunities for virtual mobility of students-taking courses from other universities. This calls for a need to harmonize strategic planning of e-learning innovation on institutional and inter-institutional (regional, national) levels. The paper will try to point the interplay between those levels. The relation between strategic planning and innovation management, interplay between national and institutional levels of strategic planning is also discussed.
