The Business Case For ELearning [Electronic resources]

Chapter 13. Building an Internet Learning Solution

Note

The chapter is based on a white paper, "Blueprint for Enterprise E-Learning," by Rick Crowley, Director of ILSG E-Learning Architecture.

Organizations have the option to build their own Internet learning architecture. In large-scale organizations or for application service providers, the economies of scale would justify such an investment into a solution and services architecture to meet the needs of internal and external learners. A comprehensive Internet learning solution architecture can be conceptually categorized into three groups: access tools, the learning applications, and the underlying network infrastructure.
