E-Learning to flounder without e-training. (E-Learning Supplement).

Businesses across Britain are wasting millions and failing to get maximum benefit from electronic-learning and training because they are failing to train their employees in how to use e-learning software packages that have been introduced as part of personal development programmes, says kmpinternet.com.

The e-learning market has experienced massive growth in recent years and software is available covering everything from accountancy to marketing, with some analysts predicting that the market could be worth more than $7.6 Billion across Europe by as early as 2002.

kmpinternet.com has produced software to help companies train their employees in using and managing e-learning courseware. The product which will go on sale later this summer is a "boxed and ready" solution which can be adapted to the majority of e-learning packages currently in existence. The product comprises an avatar with text to speech capability and an intelligent knowledge management engine, that enables the learning materials to be organised into 'Learning Objects'. This allows the user to access the learning materials they need, when they need it, rather than trawling through an entire course to reach the elements they want.
