Significant development in e-learning over the past decade has tremendous implications for educational and training practices in the information society (Khan, in press). With the advent of the Internet and online learning methodologies and emerging technologies, e-learning has become more and more accepted in the workplace. Academic institutions, corporations, and government agencies worldwide have been increasingly using the Internet and digital technologies to deliver instruction and training. Moreover, the need to address the training and learning requirements of a globally dispersed workforce is also driving the demand for e-learning programs. At all levels of these organizations, individuals are being encouraged to participate in e-learning activities. Since 1990, the field of e-learning has enjoyed exponential growth and recognition. According to a new report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., “The global e-learning market is projected to reach $107.3 billion by the year 2015, driven by its benefits in the form of reduction in operational costs, flexibility in learning activities, and simplified training programs.”1 The e-learning market is one of the most rapidly growing sectors in the global education industry.2. © 2015 Taylor & Francis.
