Learning Spending Down,
Use of New Tools Up

Despite declines in corporate training spending of 11% and L&D staffing of 5%, 2009 saw an increase in the use of e-learning tools and technologies.  Adoption rates rose significantly for virtual classroom tools, application simulations, blogs and wikis, podcasts, and other tools that deliver learning efficiencies.  You’ll find more on this data – as well as other important statistics on corporate spending, staffing, and programs – in the 2010 Corporate Learning Factbook, Bersin & Associates’ most popular annual study.
