A market study by the eLearning Guild, dated feb, 17, 2006.

A total of 656 people responded to the survey and a quick analysis of the data shows that Rapid e-Learning is the single hottest topic out there. In fact, a full 77% of the respondents report that their organizations interest in Rapid e-Learning is increasing moderately (44%) or significantly (33%). Another 17% say their organizations interest is remaining the same as it was for 2005. Most revealing was that a mere 6% say interest is decreasing.

Then there is the fact that the same survey shows that 70% report that their interest in the use of complex media including simulations, collaborative tools, databases, algorithmic interactions, Flash interactions, and streaming media in the development and delivery of e-Learning content is increasing moderately (43%) or significantly (28%).

This is a significantly moderately interesting study, but it probably gives a trend, as they say…
