This month's e-learning wire is a bumper edition, full of
insights from professionals on the industry, and tips for users
at the practical end. And to begin with, we offer some context,
with a brief history of e-learning: Brian Holley reminds us that
not everything about e-learning is new, and looks back to its
origins and to some old criteria for successful learning that
often get forgotten.

Any Answers

Here are some of the recent questions that have been asked on
E-learningZone this month. Can you help?
- Does anyone have any information about the benefits of
e-learning for the end users? I am trying to pull a list of
benefits together to communciate within our company to improve
the perception of the this method of learning. I have heard
mention that some research has proved an increase of 30% in
knowledge retention from elearning, but cannot find any
information about this, asks Diane Snelling
https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/item/95800/728
- I am receiving more and more requests in the form of "we need
training on xyz knowledge / product / process next year, and we'd
like it on e-learning." I'm delighted with the interest (and
faith) the business is showing in e-learning, however somehow I
have to manage the flow of work, and not just accept that e-
learning is the only option. Does anyone else have any other
forms or frameworks they can share with me which can help
identify whether e-learning is the most appropriate option? asks
Rob Foster
