Topic Synopsis: The four stages of e-Learning:
A maturity model for network-based organizational learning.
The market for network-based learning has exploded in the last five years, reaching more than $14 billion in products and services today.  This presentation reviews the corporate e-learning market in detail. It lays out a typical solution framework and describes trends in organizational learning delivery and management. It identifies a maturity model for e-learning: the three key stages that organizations go through.  For each stage, the presentation provides guidelines for successful implementation and how organizations can determine their own maturity.  It then describes the “fourth stage” – the new approaches which we believe are coming next.
