E-outfits go the distance

Article Abstract:

An examination of how e-learning providers in the United States are now focusing on professional training for distance learners as they attempt to recover the ground that they lost in the dotcom downturn. According to Andrew Rosenfeld, chief executive of UNext, online business education venture backed by the universities of Stanford, Chicago, Carnegie Mellon and Columbia, when the Internet suffered a well-deserved revaluation, e-learning was forgotten, but unlike most online ventures, e-learning serves a valuable purpose and for people balancing family and work, the opportunity to learn online at your own pace is extremely valuable. Online enrolment, which is growing by one-third/yr, will exceed 2.2 mil by 2004, according to International Data Corp, market researcher.
