Editor's note
==============
E-learning continues its rise in popularity in the workplace, but
attitudes towards using it are becoming more measured, according
to a major research study into Training Trends in 2002 published
today.

The survey of TrainingZONE members, conducted between December
2001 and February 2002, highlights a strong market in training
and development for the coming year, with a strong emphasis on
techniques which help to develop the individual.
