Capitalising on the changing demand for eLearning |
 London
(UK), October 2012 - (by Bob Little) Many commentators and analysts
agree that, increasingly over the last few years, the training industry has
been changing. Among other things, organisations are turning to blended

sustainable. In particular, the growth in "mobile technology" is
increasingly prompting mobile learning materials to be added to the
"traditional" blended learning mix.
