E-learning comes of age?

摘要

One person's optimist is another's naive fool. As revolutions go the outcomes of the e-learning revolution have been somewhat unspectacular. Expectations were high. They have not been met. Many will have noticed that walls did not, in fact, come tumbling down. Yet there are some signs of health for those who are patient enough to look for them. Spending on e-learning is increasing, and within a context of overall increases on spending on learning, still doing particularly well. There is some pretty poor stuff to be bought by the unwary purchaser. Convergence within a consolidating industry, however, means that for the not-overly-optimistic benefits results are being achieved.
