Editor's note
=============
This week, the BBC has come under fire for its plans to move into
the e-learning market, raising fears among some e-learning
providers that the involvement of the Corporation would lead to
other smaller, less well-funded operations being forced out of
business.
We got an insight into the BBC'S own use of e-learning
from Gareth Jones, Head of New Media Innovation and
Learning at the BBC, as a preview to this week's Training
Solutions show. We'll be bringing you regular updates from
the show later in the week, and are looking forward to
creating some headlines ourselves with the breakfast
briefings and debates (see
https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/trainingsolutions for more
details).
The TrainingZONE team keeps its ear to the ground to pick up key
trends like the one above in the HRD world every day. Now, for
the first time, we've brought together analysis and views from the
last six months to create what's planned to be a regular biannual
review of the training market. We hope you find it interesting.
