eLearning Trends for 2004
Learning Circuits has put together a list of eLearning Trends for 2004, based on a survey of 122 organisations with eLearning initiatives underway. The survey met with some seemingly unexpected results; but upon closer examination they simply reflect greater differentiation in the applications of eLearning technologies:
"This data seems to contradict information from other industry surveys and analyst reports that say e-learning initiatives are gaining momentum. To garner insight, Learning Circuits reviewed and compared verbatim answers with those from previous surveys. The result: Workplace learning professionals seem to be more clearly defining e-learning in relation to an actual learning experience. They’re using such terms as Web conferencing, virtual classrooms, simulations, m-learning, and so on--rather than infrastructure and authoring systems, such as LMSs and LMCSs, which were mentioned in previous years."
