We are well into the e-learning doldrums, writes the author, but the depressed market and consolidations (and failures) mean it's easier to pick between solutions. All true, but this article suggests to me that we are still in one of the early stages of the doldrums: denial. Consider this snippet: "The reason had nothing to do with technology. Managers just didn't motivate learners to take the e-course. Managers who took simple steps—merely tracking attendance, for example—saw higher completion rates." See? It's not the technology's fault, it's the customer's! Nope, sorry, won't fly.
