Of course this is not the first time that learning providers have had to struggle with tight market conditions. But this may well be the first time that customers – internal and external – are beginning to question the basis of the service offering.

What caught my attention was how this 25-30% was made up, with about 2/3 asynchronous (self-paced) and 1/3 synchronous (live/real-time), although the majority of the non-e-learning elements are synchronous as well, using the traditional classroom. I started at the beginnings of human existence. I started at the beginnings of human existence.

Before I take my leave for Christmas, I thought I'd provide you with this summary of all my posts on Clive on Learning in 2011. I've marked with asterisks a few posts that were particularly significant from my point of view. December Where is the model for e-learning?

Another issue is the balance we strike between learning that is synchronous (live) and learning that is asynchronous (self-paced). By and large, we would do well to teach much less and provide much more in the way of support. That slider needs to be moved right – not all the way, but towards the other end.

Now e-learning's a big subject if you include all its many variants - formal and informal, synchronous and asynchronous and so on - and if you take into account all the issues relating to its management and marketing. Cath Ellis recently set out her ten commandments of e-learning and this prompted me to try and articulate my own.

On the other hand, even though my specialism is e-learning, I do myself regularly facilitate classroom workshops and am as sure as I can be that these make a difference - we achieve something that simply would not be possible online or asynchronously.

The author provides many examples of innovative group activities which would work equally well in a corporate setting and which counterbalance the inevitable steer towards formalised, tutor-centred instruction. This has been my experience too.

The central idea of FlockPod is to provide a space on any web page for you to collaborate and learn right on-the- spot, to share ideas, opinions, experiences, and anecdotes or sometimes even to question, reason or debate." The fact that it works asynchronously suits it's role in self-paced learning.

It is not good news for those who have made their living providing lower-tier content at higher-tier prices. This new arrangement may help asynchronous e-learning to recover its rather tarnished image. The form may be a simple interactive tutorial, a short video, a podcast, a screen capture movie, a PowerPoint or a PDF.

Sebastian is a big fan of asynchronous group activities, centred around Shell’s Moodle platform. Learning beyond the course Shell is really good at providing a myriad of other, less formal, ways in which employees can develop core competences, keep up-to-date with changes and prepare to take on further responsibilities.

The blended learning equivalent might contain some asynchronous activities, some group work, some one-to-one interaction and so on, carefully designed to achieve the learning outcomes, with due consideration for the intended learner and the available resources. It's healthy and it's nutritious. It takes knowledge.

You can blend between asynchronous media and synchronous media. A good example would be a stand-alone classroom workshop that attempts to deliver a body of knowledge, as well as provide opportunities for practice and discussion. The approach may work for some aspects of the solution but not for all.

I decided to explore the potential for 3D using the some of the same dimensions that you could apply to 2D e-learning, i.e. whether it is designed primarily for individual or collaborative use, and whether it is essentially asynchronous (self-paced) or synchronous (live). What do these distinctions matter?

What I also like is that BSkyB are allowing employees to rate any content on the portal, providing a Web 2.0 feel to the whole thing. Graeme Duncan, from Caspian Learning , presented strong arguments for the use of simulations and games for training.
