Diane Bauer, senior manager for Cisco Systems, explains the business drivers that fuel e-learning in major organizations. She provides a road map for moving past the hype and into sustainable success; discusses an applications and network architecture to help prioritize and select tools; and gives directions for leveraging Cisco best practices with your organization's e-learning implementation efforts. Bauer discusses e-learning's business and technical drivers, and its impact on the IT organization. She drills down into the enabling technologies, and then offers recommendations and likely directions for the future of e-learning. In an interview, Lguide president Christopher Hedrick amplifies the points made by Bauer throughout the program. After watching this program, you will understand the technical and business factors that can make or break a successful e-learning program; the people, process and systems issues you will face; and the practitioner level concerns raised by e-learning. In addition, you will have the knowledge necessary to prepare yourself for boardroom discussions within your organization.
