Thought from our folks: Video streaming for corporate training

As I dug in the e-learning topic in educational setting, Michael’s presentation last night made me think how business and educational profession look into the same issue. As Michaels mentioned, company like IBM save a lot from e-training. This is what companies want, and sure it’s what universities want. Frankly, there’s no difference at all between the two. University of Phoenix Online is making a fortune from their business, most recent fiscal year revenues exceeding one billion dollars (Farrell, 2002).
I wonder how corporate deal with training results though, should they be job performance evaluation, probably from supervisors, or colleagues. I also doubt how ‘constructivism’ could play its role in business. Probably executive is not a big fan of this epistemology.
