Introduction

E-learning is now becoming a widely accepted method of training and education within schools, colleges and organisations. Of firms using e-learning already, 93% intend to increase its scope over the next year. Such surveys suggest the outlook is good, however there are crucial lessons to be learned from many of the early adopters which suggest that good e-learning is much more than just putting a program on a server.

E-learning is here to stay, there’s no doubt about that. It will increasingly become a staple item in the training portfolio, however like all training media, we must learn how and when to use it to its best advantage. Wireless technology is beginning to appear in many more devices and this marks the start of a physically independent way of staying connected.The ability to access and participate in learning without the need for a physical connection will bring immeasurable benefits, with learners truly being able to learn at anyplace, anywhere. There is also the development of various peer-to-peer [p2p] approaches, aimed at providing a Napster-style solution for the training and development community. Whilst the technological issues are well understood, the practicality of sharing learning materials is still some way off. Issues such as copyright, quality, appropriateness and business sensitivity all need addressing before we can assemble courses from easily available online content.

The type of training supported via e-learning is also changing. E-learning is here to stay, although it must be used correctly in order to ensure success. Emerging technologies such as wireless and 3G will certainly enhance the penetration and flexibility of the medium, and the quality of content must be of superior quality. It’s an exciting industry so that we draw the future of e-learning through scnario-thinking.

3. Who are the standard orginization of E-Learning?

    IEEE LTSC (Learning Technology Standards Committee)
    ISO/IEC JTC1/SC36 (International Standards Organization: Information Technology Standards:   Information Technology for Learning, Education and Training)
    CEN/ISSS/LTWS (European Committee for Standardization [Comite Europeen de Normalisation]: Information Society Standardization System: Learning Technology Workshop)

II. Industrial Questions

1 What are the contents of e-learning in industry?

  The intellectual property and knowledge to be imparted. It consists of the course outline, text based knowledge modules for
  learning, and multi-media. Content is the most important investment and asset of e-learning. Different types of e-learning content
  include text, audio, video, animation and simulation.
  The eLearning industry is comprised of three vendor segments: technology, content and services.
   Technology: This segment includes LMS, learning content management system (LCMS), authoring tools, training delivery systems,
   enterprise resource planning (ERP), application service provider (ASP), live eLearning tools, streaming video, EPSS, testing and
   assessment tools.
   Content: This segment includes third-party content providers, books and magazine publishers, enterprises, subject matter experts
   (SME), government agencies, colleges, universities, schools, training organizations, learning portals, IT firms, and system 
   integrators.
   Services: This segment includes EIP, corporate universities, learning service providers (LSP), content aggregators, learning
   consultants, consulting, professional services, certification service providers, collaboration services, and online mentoring
   services.

2 What is the role of the instructor in future e-learning?

  The term instructor-led training is used synonymously with on-site training and classroom training.
  One-to-one training in on-line will be possible in future.

3 Which e-learning system will be developed for each community?

  Community learning is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of 
  students working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product.

4 How can we improve the quality of e-learning?

5 What kinds of e-learning are supposed to be in the future?
