Omniplex managing director at European e-learning Summit

The European e-learning Summit delegates – drawn from Europe’s top e-learning strategists, content and systems developers from the private and public sectors as well as academia – discussed the European and world markets for e-learning, identified industry trends and the key issues in e-learning today. The Summit was organised by Learning Light, the Sheffield-based company which focuses on promoting the use of e-learning and learning technologies, and was supported by learndirect and by Creativesheffield.

In addition to key UK figures in the e-learning world, including Piers Lea, managing director LINE Communications, Lars Hyland (Epic), Tracy Capaldi-Drewett (REDTRAY) and Rob Arntsen of MyKnowledgeMap, delegates came from Italy, Greece, the Czech Republic and even – in an observer capacity – from Australia.

Lloyd commented: “Discussing key issues in e-learning – such as the shift from bespoke e-learning content creation to the in-house use of rapid authoring tools; the growth of e-learning for mobile delivery, and the morphing of structured e-learning programmes into less structured electronic performance support – was most stimulating.

“Moreover, I believe that the delegates reached a consensus on a way forward for the industry which should help to raise its profile as well as help it contribute to the approaching economic recovery.
