He's had this position sewn up for many years and seems impervious to challenges.
Europe List
. The Secretary of ELIG, where he oversees ELIG's role as advisor to the EU on all things to do with eLearning.
UK List
- Donald H Taylor. Not just the power behind the success of the Learning Technologies conference (identifying the 'right' topics and booking the 'right' speakers) but also rumoured to be the real editor of Learning Technologies magazine. Unlike many commentators and bloggers in this sector, people tend to read what he writes.
- Clive Snell. The publisher of E-Learning Age magazine (now the UK's leading - some would say only - eLearning title) and the man behind the eLearning Awards which, in only a few years, seem to have captured the imagination of everyone in the UK's eLearning sector.
- Nigel Paine. (see World list).
