| e-Learning - How fast can you learn? |
Education |
 "e" Is for Express! Express Learning for a Fast-Paced World. Today's business operates in a real-time world where innovation rules, competitors appear from all corners, knowledge provides more leverage than capital, and the old rules no longer apply. You might be on the right track, but you'll get run over if you just stand there.
Zealous corporations are busy building out the web…networking the world…accelerating processor speed…stuffing unimaginable bandwidth into fiber…creating incredibly powerful software…buying into common standards…and generally building the technological infrastructure to make e-Business feasible. All at the speed of light!
Already, corporate Goliaths are falling to upstart David's. At the other end of the scale, Goliaths are joining forces to create global behemoths previously unimaginable. Long-term planning has shrunk from five years to two. You seize opportunity when you can or history passes you by. If you don't do it today, you'll get left behind.
e-Learning is the answer. Looking at everything that our customers were asking for and what we knew about learning best practices, we concluded that the traditional, piecemeal approach to learning is broken beyond repair. No amount of band-aids and bailing wire can fix it. e-Business needs an e-Business approach to learning itself, something we call e-Learning. e-Learning is to traditional training as e-business is to the five-and-dime. e-Learning puts the learner in the center of the equation instead of the trainer.
Characteristics of e-Learning
- e-Learning is dynamic. Today's content, in real time, not old news or
"shelf-ware." On-line experts, best sources, quick-and-dirty approaches for emergencies.
- e-Learning operates in real time. You get what you need, when you need it.
- e-Learning is collaborative. Because people learn from one another, e-Learning connects learners with experts, colleagues, and professional peers, both in and outside your organization.
- e-Learning is individual. Every e-learner selects activities from a personal menu of learning opportunities most relevant to her background, job, and career at that very moment.
- e-Learning is comprehensive. e-Learning provides learning events from many sources, covering every
imaginable topic, enabling the e-learner to select a favoured format or learning method or training provider.
- e-Learning enables the enterprise. e-Learning builds enterprise learning communities whose members forge strong relationships.
 The future is now. Reading about e-Learning cannot convey what happens when all aspects are working in concert. You reach a point where a collection of learning bites, assessment results, live databases, channels to other people, and striking images unite to create a single, focused, interactive learning experience on the desktop. Learners enter a state of intense concentration, high performance, and controlled excitement, the "flow experience," that brings feelings of pleasure, power, and accomplishment.
