The author adapts Gartner's Technology Hype Cycle to show that e-learning hype peaked in 2000 with high stock prices and John Chambers' "e-learning is the next killer app" comment. He speculates that e-learning has now hit a trough and that we can expect an upturn. "Despite the current climate," he writes, "the e-learning hype cycle tells us that just as the highest highs were unsustainable, so too are the lowest lows."
