Abstract:

Demonstrates how digital technologies are affecting the organisational learning process, drawing on material presented to an industry forum. Reviews the rise of the knowledge-based organisation, examines how the Internet has created "e" learning, investigates why organisations are impelled towards e-learning, provides some estimates of the size of the e-learning market and outlines the activities of some e-learning provider organisations. Shows that the corporate e-learning market is undergoing strong growth with a wide range of providers and alliances emerging and some consolidation expected. Organisations now seek metrics for evaluating e-learning and quality benchmarks are recommended.
