LearnSomething and N-TEN Release Nonprofit E-Learning Survey Report

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 02/13/2006 - 5:11am.

LearnSomething and N-TEN today officially released results from their 2005 survey of e-learning activity in the nonprofit sector. The 2005 survey builds on the research begun in 2004 by N-TEN and Isoph, now part of LearnSomething, and shows continuing growth of e-learning among nonprofits. Access to the survey report is freely available on the Web at http://www.isoph.com/pdfs/2005_Nonprofit_E-learning_Survey.pdf.

Key findings from the report indicate that:

  • Memberships associations and organizations that provide technical or management

    support

    to nonprofits are leading the growth of e-learning in the nonprofit sector.
  • Adoption of self-paced e-learning by nonprofits grew at a faster pace than other formats in 2005.
  • There is clear perceived value in integrating learning management systems with key nonprofit software applications, particularly association management systems.

I finally read this report. I appreciate that the study continues over
time and compares results from previous research. I encourage the
researchers, however, to better distinguish next time between
nonprofits using e-learning as consumers of training and nonprofits
using e-learners as providers of training. Both are interesting, but
I'd like to understand each separately.
Keep up the good work...
