Description
E-learning isn't about IT, it's about learning. For too long, Martyn Sloman argues, the agenda has been driven by IT; it is time for all those concerned with organisational learning and development to discard the traditional models, ignore the hype of the vendors and become active players in the connected economy.
This books covers:
- why knowledge management, performance management and training must come together to achieve competitive advantage through people
- how technology that offers learner-centred opportunities will redefine the way adults learn
- why expertise in soft technology will give trainers new credibility
- what can be learnt from the different strategic responses to e-learning of blue-chip companies.Contents
