This article is about the need for organisations to have an e-learning strategy and raises some issues regarding the dangers of not having an e-learning strategy when developing e-learning courses.

It is interesting to note that a common theme in articles about e-learning is the degree of frustration and negative attitudes towards e-learning that can be directly traced backed to not having a strategy in the first place. So many organisations appear to see e-learning as a quick fix solution to their training needs, and rush in without being prepared.

Two of the most important elements of an e-strategy are 1) conduct a needs assessment and 2) review training team readiness. Most of the articles relating to bad e-learning experiences are created by not having attended to these two elements.

The remainder of the article contains some very helpful information on how to develop your own e-learning strategy.
