An overview of how corporations are using next generation e-learning to train their employees and resellers faster, less expensively, and with better retention than with traditional classroom training. As technology's rate of change escalates, and corporations continue to engage in mergers and acquisitions, executives are finding themselves faced with the task of keeping their staff and distribution channels up to date, without suffering any downtime that would put them at a competitive disadvantage. The tried and true approach used to be to send small groups of employees to traditional classroom training. Another approach has been to purchase significant volumes of computer-based training, in the form of CD-ROMs, for employees to pursue on their own time. Neither approach is very scalable, nor provides a solid return on the investment -- either in usability or learning retention.
