I spent the day at an Enterprise Network forum in Fredericton today. Hence the late newsletter. The idea of the forum was to promote the technology and e-learning cluster forming in New Brunswick. Of wider interest, though, was this presentation by IDC's Julie Kaufman. When asked answer what I thought of it, I described the presentation as "IDC atoning for past errors." That's a bit harsh. But the presentation did summaries significant revisions to earlier, boom-based predictions. But the overall message is positive, if conservative. E-learning is still growing. The biggest winners? Synchronous learning and collaboration. The losers? Packaged content and learning management systems. OLDaily readers should not be at all surprised. MS Word format - sorry about that, I'll have an HTML version on my main website shortly.
