The Current Status and Future Prospects of Corporate e-Learning in Korea
Lim, Cheolil
Online Submission, International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning v8 n1 Mar 2007
Corporate e-Learning in Korea has grown rapidly over the previous six years (2000-2005). This study argues that the main cause of this heightened interest in corporate e-Learning in Korea was not that companies needed to provide high-quality training programs through the Internet, but rather that the government took initiative to transform the state into an information-based society. The policies for quantitative growth with minimum levels of quality and uniformity have been dominant and have resulted in the lack of diverse e-Learning types for authentic practices in workplaces. This paper suggests that in order to cope with the new competency requirements of employees, corporate e-Learning should be guided both by governmental support and by company initiative. (Contains 7 tables and 2 figures.) [This article was published in the Regional Focus Issue: Changing Faces of Open and Distance Education in Asia.]
