According to CEO Tyson Greer, "the term 'open learning' was coined many years before Web 2.0 entered the lexicon. In both, the locus of control is centered on the user. The traditional pedagogical concept of open learning involves giving the learner control of most of the instructional process. Web 2.0 Open Learning gives the learner complete control.".
This Webinar will present key findings from a recent Ambient Insight "snapshot" report called: "Private Investment in the US Learning Technology Industry: 2007-2008 Analysis."

"In Open Learning the value migrates to something never anticipated by product suppliers or practitioners: user-generated content and data," adds Adkins. "In terms of adoption, it enables very large numbers of people to not only get access to learning but to participate in the development of it. Open Learning could potentially replace both commercial products."
