"E-learning has been heralded as the next big thing and dismissed as an expensive waste of money. The truth behind the hype is that it is already delivering transformational results for some of the UK's leading publishers.

Since 2000 we have heard John Chambers of Cisco claim that e-learning would "make e-mail look like a rounding error" - and we have watched disillusion grip both investors in over hyped start-ups and early customers of the big US vendors. Both were over-reactions: our experience suggests that well designed e-learning resources, with realistic goals, can transform the way people engage with their own professional development, particularly in publishing and media."
