Asia-Pacific's list of e-learning movers and shakers
Among the responses to the publication, at the beginning of January,
of lists of the 'top ten movers and shakers' in the e-learning field
- in the World, Europe and the UK - were a couple which argued for
the publication of an Asia-Pacific list to complement the existing
lists.
So here, following a great deal of research and consultation with
'e-learning watchers' and commentators in India, Malaysia,
Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand, is the
first list of movers and shakers in e-learning in the Asia-Pacific
region.
As with all these lists, please bear in mind that they are compiled
on the basis of a person's perceived current influence on the
e-learning industry - as a practitioner, commentator, facilitator
and/or thought leader. You probably won't agree with all - or even
any - of the judges' decisions but at least you'll know something
about what other people think about the personalities who lead the
corporate e-learning world.
