Charles Jennings argues that "Research is showing that the explosion of knowledge, the increasingly complex world in which we live, and the need for 'just-in-time' capability is exposing the deficiencies in event-driven learning. The 'course' is becoming less appropriate in the modern world as a method for building knowledge and capability. "
In the audio introduction Jennings describes the context within which he works - Reuters which is a 'fast realtime environment'. He challenges us that the online course will die, and be replaced by individualised and personalised approaches to learning. Jennings sees that formal learning is dying already 1) business is changing rapidly, 2) changed workpatterns make a full day courses difficult to schedule, and 3) technology enables us to learn in smarter ways.
