This update is intended to be a reasonably informal discussion on various news and issues relating to corporate e-learning. It is neither definitive nor does it represent any ‘official’ view in any way.
Like most people I pick up on new developments in e-learning through a variety of media and, frankly, it can be a bit ‘hit and miss’. To do a really thorough job would require full-time monitoring and analysis of all sources of material, and would require resources which are beyond the means of any one person. In any case, life is too short for me to spent all my time researching and writing about e-learning!
What I propose to do is to tell you about the various e-learning related news and issues that come across my (virtual) desk from time to time. I will try to keep the update topical but I’m sure that some news items will already be known to some of you by the time they are aired in the E-learning Update. If so, please allow me to be ‘last with the news’ from time to time! Hopefully, I will be able to add some fresh insight to most of the stories carried in the update.
One other point which you should bear in mind (as mentioned in the accompanying Health Warning) is that the brief summaries set out in this update are necessarily lacking in detail, and so if you think a story or topic mentioned here might be relevant to your particular sphere of interest, you must go and carry out further research yourself, rather than relying entirely on the very brief summary given here.
