E-learning has easily become one of the most popular trends in the past few years. After all, it has allowed businesses to save money and train their employee’s online, as well as help students get their degree while working. However, as e-learning programs become more complex and easier to use in the business market, more trends will develop within. One of the biggest trends within e-learning programs is that applications are expanding. Originally, e- learning software merely trained individuals and subsequently went from there. Now e-learning courses are keeping employers up to date within their industry. For instance, if a sales rep needs to know how to handle customers on the phone, then these e-learning solutions will provide a lot of help. Also, if new software is out on the market, employees can easily learn how to use it from these programs. Fortunately, applications are now expanding so much that companies can constantly be training their staff when new information comes out. Another big trend in e-learning is blended learning. This is when education consists of not only e-learning programs, but also in person lectures and exams. By adding the internet element as well as the standard teaching method, students are able to get the best of both worlds. Discussion boards, offline group projects, and chat rooms are just a few examples of integrating both. Most of the time an in person lecture is not daily, thus allowing people who work to still maintain a schedule. M-learning is also becoming part of the e-learning solution. Although e-learning is strictly online, M-learning can be included in this category. This is when a student is accessing these e-learning courses from more than one location. For instance, someone could be reading the material from a mobile phone, a PDA, or even an Ipod. Most of the time this information is still being accessed from the internet. It is the newest trend in the online education field, thus making it easier for anyone to acquire more knowledge. No matter what happens to e-learning, there will always be different e-learning solutions and trends. After all, this always happens when new creations come out. Luckily, e-learning software is expanding to cell phones and PDA’s. This is a great advancement because it’s allowing people to become more knowledgeable in society. What’s greater than a world full of intelligence? Absolutely nothing. By Natalie Aranda E-learning can be daunting both for the organisation and the learner. Consequently, we at DPM International are offering all organisations, no matter the size, an opportunity to utilise e-learning. DPM International is pleased to offer our course hosting and administration packages to micro, small, medium and large organisations. We will host and or manage your organisation’s e-learning programme. This service may be used for workshops, company manuals, seminars and long term training. Packages start at $100.00 for 20 users per month or you can use our on demand service which cost as low as $5.00 per user per day!

The Inter-American Bank’s Conference: Opportunities for the Majority in the Caribbean (OM) held May 17-18, 2007, IN Montego Bay, Jamaica was a success on many fronts. This event brought together corporate, non- profit, government and intellectual leaders to explore unconventional partnerships in serving the majority and the respective roles of government, the private sector, civil society and business schools. There were many speakers who shared valuable experiences and lessons with the participants. Professor Stuart Hart introduced the participants to his pioneering Base of the Pyramid (BoP Protocol) concept. The BoP Protocol™ is a model for business co-creation that marries MNCs’ resources, technologies and best practices with those of the community. Learn more by visiting www.bop-protocol.org . Please direct all queries to omcaribbean@iadb.org and visit the IDB website for more details on the OM initiative and information of the conference. |
