Why does the UK lag the US in eLearning adoption and who will drive change?

Bersin & Associates recently published their UK Training and Development Factbook® 2010. Their research showed some very interesting comparisons to their findings in the US.

Findings that I found interesting:

· Historical slower adoption of learning management systems (LMS) vs. the US

o 39% of US organizations use LMSs

o 25% of UK organizations use LMSs

· Overall, US companies deliver twice as much training through corporate eLearning in 2009 vs. the UK

· Expected “movement” toward informal and social learning

o More companies are experiencing with social learning environments

o Corporate leaders, such as BT, internally developed social learning platform to allow employees to collaborate and sharing content in engaging ways to positive results

· Training spending in the UK declined only 4% in 2009, vs. the US’s 11%

As with many cultures, change is difficult. The Bersin study indicates that adopting online and social learning methods overcoming cultural barriers, both on the part of the learners and the training organization. As the current macroeconomic environment in the UK is as difficult as ever and the global economy as competitive as ever, I imagine CEOs/Managing Directors will be directing their training organizations to become more responsive to the new normal.

My question is – will the CEOs/Managing Directors drive this change, or will younger workers demand it in the UK?

TOPYX liberates learners and their educators through collaboration with peers and engagement in knowledge sharing activities. Through social learning tools such as blogs, wikis and RSS feeds, learning becomes a communal, rather than autonomous, activity. Many sources of course content are combined into a rich, interactive and engaging learning experience. TOPYX eLearning solutions have been inspired and enabled by the emergence of Web 2.0, resulting in an increased emphasis on a social learning model. Educators and trainers finally have a user-friendly and highly effective tool to affordably provide learning wherever and whenever it is needed

Corporate eLearning, an Efficient Solution for Business Training

TOPYX eLearning for business provides collaborative learning environments for businesses of any size

BONITA SPRINGS, FL – March 5, 2010 – Businesses desire an engaging, collaborative learning environment for their corporate training, but the typical training options don’t usually provide such an atmosphere. Onsite or offsite seminars and certification training often fall short of expectations. Historically, corporate eLearning has been a passive one way street – from digital content to the employee. No collaboration, no informal learning, no passion and little adoption.

Good corporate eLearning is interactive and engaging, adding the human support and interaction between learners and instructors through various technologies made available with an effective eLearning platform. But, when it comes to moving forward with this training approach, the question that stumps most people is “How do we justify the initial investment?”

Undeniably, the Internet can reduce the overall cost of learning; however, to get started with an eLearning solution can seem overwhelming and costly. One company has made it a point to develop an eLearning system that offers the best value in the industry. Interactyx Limited is at the forefront of developing corporate eLearning solutions that are affordable and easy to use.

TOPYX®, the corporate eLearning software from Interactyx, offers the right combination of a traditional learning management system (LMS) and tools similar to Facebook® and LinkedIn®, to provide a secure, user-friendly, feature-rich business eLearning solution for organizations of any size (or budget). From leadership development to sales training to professional certification, TOPYX provides a collaborative, engaging business eLearning experience for learners and administrators, whenever they wish and wherever they may be.

“We understand the investment in such a system tends to be a significant concern,” said Alfred R. Novas, Chief Executive Officer of Interactyx Limited, “which is why we are breaking down the barrier to entry for many who thought they couldn’t afford an eLearning solution in the past.”

When considering a corporate eLearning solution, it is important to not only look at specific return on investment, but also to consider the benefits of an eLearning system as compared to the traditional training process. eLearning offers the convenience of 24/7 accessibility to training, reduced time away from work, a centralized online resource for materials and knowledge transfer, as well as a customized training environment specific to one’s needs. When combined, these benefits also equal an overall reduced cost of learning.

“In addition to its affordability, TOPYX offers the flexibility a company needs by allowing the learning environment to evolve and grow as business needs change,” said Novas. “Affordability and flexibility are two very important concerns with corporate eLearning.”
