| Cutting-Edge E-Learning Services
for the Emerging Web
Online learning is undergoing dramatic
changes as powerful new content types, technologies, and services
are being adopted for training. This results in traditional
e-learning, often characterized by self-paced "page
turning" courses followed by a test, being
replaced with a new "multi-channel"
learning model.
The new challenge of the service economy is that services have become the central concept: it can no longer be seen as auxiliary to material products. In many cases, the quality of performance rather than the quality of output becomes the main criteria for evaluation.
 Effective e-learning is not just a set of
technologies. It is also not a set of online courses or other “content” followed by a test. Rather, it is a
complex mix of physical and social technologies, applications,
activities, and presentations designed to teach, combined
with services that support the entire e-learning
experience.
Emerging E-Learning Services: Cutting-Edge Practices for Supporting Innovative Online Training,
part of Dr. Gary Woodill’s Emerging E-Learning series, is the only analysis in the industry of the 24 emerging services available and required for professionally producing online learning. This 128-page report, which has been updated from last year’s edition, discusses how the e-learning industry, as it matures, is moving from an emphasis on technologies and content to a service-based economy.
