E-learning, At a Snail's Pace

Sobering survey results in the U.K. show that e-learning has made its way into only a small percentage of training programs. "The CIPD survey canvasses training managers from 502 UK organisations with more than 25 employees. Only 30.5% - 153 respondents - say they used e-learning for any group of employees within their establishments." The results echo a similar survey conducted by ASTD in the U.S. And this little tidbit: "The US publishing giant McGraw-Hill decided to close Xebec McGraw-Hill, the U.K. arm of its 'lifetime learning' division, whose whole operation was devoted to supplying and designing e-learning. The US parent company forbade announcement of the closure of the UK operation near Stroud, Gloucestershire, with a loss of more than 100 jobs, and it slipped past unnoticed by the national media, said a former spokesman."
