I just wanted to point out a market report on E-learning here at MarketResearch.com, which is about a year old now, but does give a good overview of the e-learning industry for those more interested in that side of things.

Technology is transforming education around the world. Though e-learning companies were not doing well by the end of 2002, business is picking up this year, as schools, governments and corporations around the world are increasingly adopting e-learning applications. Presenting a comprehensive aggregation and analysis of forecast and survey data, the E-Learning report answers the following questions as they pertain to the listed sectors:

US K-12 sector
What measures are being taken to ensure teachers are proficient with e-learning tools?
What are the issues surrounding online testing?
Today's students are growing up with the Internet.
How has this affected e-learning adoption in the schools?

Postsecondary education
Do the levels of demand match supply for postsecondary education?
How are universities creating e-learning programs (pricing, advertising)?
Who is interested in online postsecondary education?

Professional/Corporate education
How are corporations adopting e-learning applications and procedures, and which business lines are taking advantage of such options?
How are governments and the military adopting e-learning solutions?
How are simulation and edutainment applications being integrated?

The report also addresses the overall question regarding e-learning options versus classroom instruction -- is human interaction absolutely necessary?
