Rapid eLearning is emerging as the fastest growing category of online training. Bersin and Associates research indicate that the category has grown 80 percent in just the past year and will most likely reach a value of USD410 million by 2006. Rapid eLearning projects account for more than one third of all current training-related projects and are likely to compromise half of all e-learning initiatives within the next three years.
Kern first experimented with rapid eLearning when we had to rollout out a course of 8-10 hours within six weeks for an UK client. To know more about our experiences and to understand the roadmap for implementing the same in your organization, visit the following link:
