What is E-learning, why do it, how to successfully publish it and what are the benefits?
Chair: Oliver Jones, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists
Many publishers are investing in a portfolio of E-learning products in order to provide interactive learning solutions to supplement textbooks, journals, courses and seminars. This interactive seminar will look at the reasons why businesses can benefit from E-learning solutions and why E-learning is so popular in providing high quality, accessible learning. The seminar will demonstrate what E-learning must include to be successful, and using case studies, how a business needs to evolve in order to successfully publish and implement E-learning solutions. Many businesses can enter new territory as a result of expanding its target audience using the internet but first, this seminar will help you to carefully plan what could work for you.
