Beyond e-learning - Practical Insights from the USA
This report was published to present the findings of the first DTI Global Watch Mission to the USA on eLearning.
The initial specific objectives for the mission were to gain an understanding of:
• The latest research and technical innovation, in particular around the use of advanced interactive simulations and
mobile technologies (mLearning)
• Business innovations in eLearning including the use of open source (OS) software, and improved methods in demonstrating return on investment (ROI)
• New approaches in using technology for organisational learning including embedded learning and performance support
• The potential for international technologybased collaboration, including joint research and development (R&D) or production, technology licensing, distribution etc
DTI Global Watch Service originally provided support dedicated to helping businesses improve their competitiveness by identifying and accessing innovative technologies and practices from overseas. They have now disbanded but their reports are available at www.ktnetworks.co.uk
