Editorial Reviews

Review

Strategy, marketing, and implementation are key to a successful deployment of e-learning. I am pleased to see a new book that addresses the nitty gritty of how to actually implement e-learning in an organization. This is a book that will save dollars and headaches. --Elliott Masie, President, The MASIE Center and The e-Learning CONSORTIUM

Beyond getting the technology right and offering high quality courseware, much work remains to be done if we want our e-learning efforts to be more than a short-term 'flash-in-the-pain.' This book clearly shows why a successful and sustainable e-learning approach must consider issues of strategy, culture, communication, and change management. --Marc J. Rosenberg, Senior Director, DiamondCluster International

This book is a balanced, honest look at the realities of achieving what e-learning promises, but seldom delivers. Implementing E-Learning offers lessons from the 'trenches' that can boost your chances of success by focusing your attention on the well constructed implentation strategy the authors provide. --Daryl R. Conner, CEO of ODR
