Jay Cross reacts in his blog to the changing of the name of E-Learning Magazine to the uninspiring title Learning and Training Innovations. Instead, "We will stress the business value of implementing new and blended techniques and technologies for training, development, collaboration, and HR," says the publisher. But I prefer George Siemens's take: "over the next year/two, organizations will fall over themselves promoting the "business value" of elearning - terms like metrics, ROI, strategies, solutions, innovations will abound... In reality, the industrial model is largely out of date...and anything built on it is outdated before it begins..." Quite right.
