This past week I had the privilege of attending my first ASTD (American Society for Training & Development) conference in Washington D.C. The key message of the rebranding is the work of ATD members encompasses more than training alone. The word “training” has also changed, and ATD’s move to “talent” is significant.

It’s definitely not accurate as it way under reports traffic for eLearning Learning. And there are sites like ASTD that go well outside the world of eLearning. So to be clear, things I excluded: Vendor specific sites, e.g., Skillsoft Sites focused on broader topics like HR, Talent Management, Training, etc., I used Compete.com.

Often times I am asked by training managers to evaluate their eLearning initiatives and specifically, types of eLearning courseware.
