Top ten lists validate our efforts, say Learning Light and
Creativesheffield
Learning Light and Creativesheffield have welcomed the publication
of the ‘top ten movers and shakers in e-learning' lists because they
believe these lists endorse their choice of delegates to the
European e-learning Summit, held at the end of 2010 in Sheffield.
Of the 31 names on the three lists published on 4th January, ten of
them were delegates at the Summit, while a further five were invited
to the Summit but were unable to attend.
In all, there were some 48 delegates at the Summit, which agreed a
manifesto for e-learning and reviewed Learning Light's research on
the UK and other European e-learning markets - ‘The UK e-learning
market 2010', available from the Learning Light and E-learning
Centre websites, price £499. The manifesto is intended to help
delegates pursue dialogue with their national governments to
establish a single, independent and impartial body representing the
corporate e-learning sector.
"We were delighted to be able to host the European e-learning
Summit," said Creativesheffield's director of business investment,
David Fletcher. "It is encouraging to see that our view of who are
the key influencers in the UK's and other countries' e-learning
markets has now been largely confirmed by the 2011 ‘top ten' lists."
"I'm delighted to see that, this year for the first time, a member
of the Learning Light team - Gillian Broadhead - has been named in
the UK list," said David Kay, of Sero Consulting and the chairman of
Learning Light, the Sheffield-based organisation which focuses on
promoting the use of e-learning and learning technologies. "We feel
that, in a small but significant way, this validates our efforts as
an encourager and promoter of the corporate e-learning sector."
