{"product_id":"e-learning-strategies-isbn-9780470849224","title":"E-learning Strategies","description":"As more than 90% of spending on the Internet comes from brick and mortar companies it is these operations that will form the client base for e-learning. This book shows those companies how to get e-learning implementation right first time. Don Morisson explores and explains the whole implementation continuum - strategy, vendor selection, technology, implementation, culture change, content development and delivery. Most importantly he stresses that the success or failure of an e-learning initiative is directly related to the underlying strategic thinking. Written for a more mature, second generation e-learning market the book provides a practitioner's handbook to both guide the novice and inform the veteran.\u003cbr\u003e * Focuses on the reader's needs\u003cbr\u003e * Focuses on the strategic issues of e-learning\u003cbr\u003e * Informed by key business drivers\u003cbr\u003e * Supported and endorsed by PWC\u003cbr\u003e Readership: Senior managers including CEOs, CIOs, CLOs, HR Directors, middle management responsible for implementing and\/or delivering e-learning, consultants  Introduction.  \u003cp\u003ePart I: E-Learning Primer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Defining Terms:Get Comfortable with E-Learning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: The New Learning Landscape:E-Learning Is Here to Stay.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: ROI, Metrics, And Evaluation:How Can We Tell If We're Getting It Right?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: The E-Learning Cycle:Once Is Not Enough.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart II: Learning Strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Business Drivers:The Real Reasons for Implementing E-Learning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: E-Learning Strategy:Dramatically Improve Your Chance of Success.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart III: Implementation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: The Project Team:Who You Need … What They Do.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Infrastructure:Denial Isn't an Option.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Vendor Relationships:Good Partners Help You Learn and Move Fast.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Learning Management Systems:The Engines of E-Learning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Testing:Mission-Critical, Not Nice to Have.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart IV: Delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Multi-Channel Delivery:Leveraging the Learning Value Chain.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13: Learner Support:Learning With the Aid of a Safety Net.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Developing Curricula:Signposted Paths to Performance Improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e;Chapter 15: E-Learning Standards:Protecting Investment and Leveraging Technology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 16: Instructional Design:Must Try Harder.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 17: The Content Development Process:Managing E-Learning's Payload.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart V: Case Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 18: PwC Consulting:Integrating Learning and Knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 19: BP:Embedding an E-Learning Capability.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 20: The Royal Bank of Scotland Group:Delivering in an Immature Market.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 21: The Dow Chemical Company:High Commitment, High ROI, High Volume.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart VI: Future Directions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 22: Future Directions:Where E-Learning Is Headed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 1: E-Learning Newsletters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 2: Online Resources.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 3: Glossary.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e  \"…This is a comprehensive tome on e-learning…wherever you are on the e-learning journey Morrison’s book should have something for your organisation…\" (E-Learning Age, May 2003)  \u003cp\u003e\"…is densely packed through, informative and well-researched.

A pioneer in the area of interactive media in the early 1980s, he has spent the last two decades creating training content in film, video, multimedia, and e-learning. The quality and innovation which are characteristic of his work have been recognised through more than twenty industry awards.  \u003cp\u003eMore recently he has worked with PWC Consulting to design, develop, and implement a global e-learning solution for its consultants. Part of this book is based on his research and experience with PWC.\u003c\/p\u003e  In basic physics, mechanical advantage describes the ability of a simple mechanism to produce an output force greater than the input force. E-learning delivers a learning advantage-by reducing the cost of learning by about a third-and either reducing time of learning by a third, or increasing the effectiveness of learning by a third. With e-learning, both the enterprise and the learner get more out than they put in.  \u003cp\u003eIf they want their people to work at peak performance and to remain competitive, every enterprise and small to medium sized business need to face up to the challenge of implementing and delivering e-learning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eE-learning is built from processes, products, services, and technologies-but it is none of those things. Instead, it is a strategic approach to learning in the corporation.

I think we're at the very early stages of really understanding the power it has. It's no longer a question of whether it will be effective or how much it can increase productivity; it's just a question of degree.\" John Chambers CEO, Cisco Systems  \u003cp\u003e\"For those who view the training function as a strategic service, this book deftly updates detailed consultative models for the realities of post dot-com e-learning .
