BUT EVEN IF THE FEAR IS GONE AND THE SYSTEM IS SETUP, WHY SUCH A DISAPPOINTING UTILIZATION RATE

Low utilization rates - hundreds of corporations have spent millions of dollars on e-Learning only to discover that only very few of their employees are actually using courses online. Why? Dismal usage rates happen for several reasons, which range from no motivation, or incentive, for learning to a lack of effective internal marketing and communication.
Best practice companies that we do business with apply learning to competencies needed to effectively do jobs and are tying leadership development to compensation as a way to encourage training.
IDC Sees European E-Learning Market Growing to $4 Billion by 2004
A study of e-learning growth trends in Europe by Internet market research firm IDC predicts the market will grow at a compound annual rate of 96 percent, reaching $4 billion by 2004. IT-related e-learning will comprise more than half of that growth, the firm's London division said in a release.
E-learning content will represent the largest component of sales during that period, says senior analyst Sheila McGovern. "Although the delivery solutions or infrastructure tools segment of the market is an important one, I believe it will become increasingly commoditized over the next few years with a few dominant players emerging," McGovern said in announcing the report.
This ‘Europe-only’ report identifies the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Sweden as the most robust markets for e-learning, attributing their faster adoption to lower language and localization barriers for the predominately English language-based e-learning development community.
