"As the concept of e-learning moves from the future into the present, trainers and human resource professionals must not only adapt their methods to a new medium, but also rethink the very nature of workplace education. Written by a top training professional and leading authority on technology-based development, The E-Learning Revolution is a call to arms that no one in training and development can afford to ignore. Based on a series of hard-hitting propositions that examine how organizational learning has evolved, the book provides provocative insights on: * How learner-centered educational technologies will demand a reexamination of the way professionals learn * What trainers must do to acknowledge the changes in which organizations compete in the new connected economy * Why barriers between knowledge management, performance management, and training must fall if a company wants to achieve its agenda Filled with case studies of companies like Ernst & Young, IBM, and Hewlett Packard, The E-Learning Revolution provides a catalyst for change in a rapidly evolving profession."

Diese Diplomarbeit befasst sich mit einem aktuellen Trend bzw. Trendbegriff im Bildungsbereich. Der Ausdruck "E-Learning", der seit geraumer Zeit auch in Europa ein Begriff geworden ist, wird näher beleuchtet und analysiert. E-Learning steht für elektronisches Lernen und ermöglicht Privaten sowie Unternehmen, unter Zeit- und Geldersparnis, in freier Zeiteinteilung und von zu Hause oder vom Büro aus, zu lernen und sich weiterzubilden. Zusammenhängend mit dieser neuen Terminologie werden Begriffe wie zum Beispiel Online und Distance Education, Virtual Classrooms, Web-Based-Trainings, Learning Communities oder Learning Networks konkretisiert. Die Vorteile und Nachteile, Chancen und Möglichkeiten, die E-Learning mit sich bringt, werden unter anderem aufgezeigt. In dieser Studie wird die Frage, ob es wirklich eine E-Learning Revolution gibt oder nicht, behandelt. Es wird näher auf die "Antriebskräfte" und Benutzer von E-Learning eingegangen. Ein wichtiger Punkt ist in diesem Bereich das Internet, das E-Learning ermöglicht. Einen interessanten Vergleich bieten der Europäische und der Amerikanische Markt unter Berücksichtigung des Gesamtmarktes. Amerika ist sicher das Pioneerland, trotz allem schläft Europa nicht und handelt schnell. Die Trends und Aussichten in dieser E-Learning Revolution, die zweifellos begonnen hat, sind bemerkenswert. Natürlich stellt sich die Frage, warum man alte Lernformen aufgeben und sich jetzt Wissen über den Computer aneignen soll. Die Antwort darauf ist einfach die Schnelllebigkeit, dass heißt das die heutige Arbeitsgesellschaft mehr Informationen und Wissen in kürzerer Zeit aufnehmen muß um konkurrenzfähig bleiben zu können. Die fortschrittlichen Technologieveränderungen ermöglichen "lebenslanges Lernen". Jedem bietet sich die Möglichkeit von beliebigen Plätzen aus, kostengünstig zu kommunizieren beziehungsweise zu lernen, wann immer es ihm möglich ist. Diese Revolution bringt neuen Schwung in den Bildungsbereich und kurbelt unter anderem auch die Wirtschaft an.

How deep learning—from Google Translate to driverless cars to personal cognitive assistants—is changing our lives and transforming every sector of the economy. The deep learning revolution has brought us driverless cars, the greatly improved Google Translate, fluent conversations with Siri and Alexa, and enormous profits from automated trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Deep learning networks can play poker better than professional poker players and defeat a world champion at Go. In this book, Terry Sejnowski explains how deep learning went from being an arcane academic field to a disruptive technology in the information economy. Sejnowski played an important role in the founding of deep learning, as one of a small group of researchers in the 1980s who challenged the prevailing logic-and-symbol based version of AI. The new version of AI Sejnowski and others developed, which became deep learning, is fueled instead by data. Deep networks learn from data in the same way that babies experience the world, starting with fresh eyes and gradually acquiring the skills needed to navigate novel environments. Learning algorithms extract information from raw data; information can be used to create knowledge; knowledge underlies understanding; understanding leads to wisdom. Someday a driverless car will know the road better than you do and drive with more skill; a deep learning network will diagnose your illness; a personal cognitive assistant will augment your puny human brain. It took nature many millions of years to evolve human intelligence; AI is on a trajectory measured in decades. Sejnowski prepares us for a deep learning future.

This text focuses on the evolving role of trainers and training within the organization. It urges trainers not to be seduced by technology at the expense of their ultimate objective - to enhance learning. Built around a series of propositions, it examines: why barriers between knowledge management, performance management and training must fall if competitive advantage through people is realized; how technology that offers learner-centred opportunities will redefine the concept of the learning organization; why expertise in soft technology will give trainers new credibility; why time, not spend will be the scarce resource as learning competes with other organizational demands; the validity of corporate universities and virtual business schools; and what can be learnt from the different strategic responses to e-learning of blue-chip companies.

Corporate e-learning has become increasingly important in the contemporary universal-access business world, and can provide strategic and competitive advantages to corporations as a way to accelerate training and reduce the high costs of face-to-face learning programs. However, most of the books that are written about e-learning do not describe in detail how corporate e-learning is actually implemented within a specific company. Corporate E-Learning fills that gap by describing in depth how e-learning programs are developed and instituted, and how their effectiveness is measured, from the perspective of practicing e-learning professionals at IBM, an early and liberal user of e-learning technologies to train their global workforce. Drawing on a wealth of in-person interviews of numerous e-learning professionals at IBM, as well as recent e-learning literature, Tai discusses how IBM has significantly contributed to the evolution of corporate e-learning. In the course of doing so, he makes useful comparisons with other companies and industries, and draws conclusions that are applicable to any company considering utilizing e-learning. Companies should be careful, concludes Tai, to use e-learning only when it makes strategic and economic sense, not simply because the technology is available. In addition, e-learning should always be used along with other more traditional means of learning, and carefully monitored by feedback mechanisms to measure whether its objectives have been accomplished, and how e-learning programs might improve in the future. Corporate E-Learning is designed for classroom use in technology management courses, and will also appeal to corporate professionals who are involved in training, human resources development, and performance improvement.

Simulations and the Future of Learning offers trainers and educators the information and perspective they need to understand, design, build, and deploy computer simulations for this generation. Looking back on his recent first-hand experience as lead designer for an advanced leadership development simulation, author Clark Aldrich has created a detailed case study of the creation and deployment of an e-learning simulation that had the development cycle of a modern computer game. With this book Aldrich, a leader in the e-learning field, has created an intriguing roadmap for the future of learning while taking us along on an entertaining rollercoaster ride of trial and error, success and failure. Simulations and the Future of Learning outlines the design principles and critical decisions around any simulation's components— the interface, the physics and animation systems, the artificial intelligence, and sets and figures. Using this accessible resource, readers will learn how to create and evaluate successful simulations that have the following characteristics: authentic and relevant scenarios; applied pressure situations that tap user's emotion and force them to act; a sense of unrestricted options; and replayability.
