Epic Survey 2003

In the summer of 2003, we undertook a wide-ranging survey on the future of e-learning in the UK. We polled more than 200 key decision-makers across both public and private sectors for their views of how e-learning will develop over the next few years.

The language of learning can be confusing.

They told us, among other findings, that:

• Good content is the single factor most likely to lead to e-learning success
• Organisational change will the most important driver of e-learning
• E-learning will happen despite rather than because of top management
• Access and flexibility are the benefits organisations will look to from e-learning, over cost-cutting
• E-learning will be most effectively supported in blends by tutoring/coaching/mentoring - whether on or offline
• Asynchronous good, synchronous not so good
• Classroom - your days are numbered!
