1999…Many giants in the technology world are investing in and providing advanced products forand services tailored to the learning market. These companies, which are expected to make great inroads into e-Learning, include AOL, Yahoo, Microsoft, IBM, AT&T, Sun Microsystems, Oracle, and Harcourt.
The global education and training market is a $2 trillion industry, with $740 billion in the U.S.Approximately 10% of the $740 billion is “for-profit” business. The growth rate for the different education and training markets is projected at 10-15% but, at least in the corporate sector, e-Learning will far outstrip classroom training over the next few years, claiming almost half of the overall corporate training market.http://www.learnframe.com/aboutelearning/elearningfacts.pdf
