The use of E-Learning in the work-places in the Public Sector

This paper will discuss the implication of e-learning on the public sectors. A survey was carried out at a London local authority through June to August 2001. The issue was to discover the answer to two questions, (i) ‘Can e-learning methods be successfully integrated into existing ‘traditional’ methods of training in the workplace?’ and (ii), ‘Can e-learning replace ‘traditional’ methods of training completely? It is also of interest to discover which areas of learning would be the most immediately acceptable for use in an e-learning application of training in the work environment at the local authority. The need was to also ascertain the extent to which e-learning has already been adopted into the training environment in the workplace, if at all and also to understand how e-learning is currently perceived by the employees’ at the local authority.
