IT Training magazine August edition includes a main feature article by David Wilson, founder and managing director of eLearnity on the perils of purchasing e-learning. The article focuses on understanding what the key drivers for the vendors are - content, technology or services, and discusses eLearnity's e-learning Technology Framework.

Or as Colin Steed, IT Training's Managing Editor puts it in his Editorial:

"There's no doubt that the fledgling e-learning market is confusing. There are a number of different components to it, but it is imperative that you understand each of them and how each fits within the overall solution. Just what are content providers, portals, learning management systems, learning delivery environments, and authoring or access tools?

Only by understanding the roles of the different components can you a build more robust learning infrastructure that can support many types of learning and a myriad of training requirements.

So, in this issue, we present an article by leading e-learning consultant David Wilson, which puts these components into perspective. Without his framework it's easy to get lost.

... So my advice is to circulate the article to all personnel in your company who's remit is to look at e-learning for your organisation".

Thanks Colin, couldn't agree more!
