What is the penetration and adoption rate of e-learning in Hong Kong organizations?
Straits Knowledge has just completed a 33 page report on the current state of elearning awareness and confidence in both public and private sectors in Hong Kong.
The survey followed the same format as a study conducted among a similar group of managers in Singapore by elearning company Knowledge Platform in August 2001, and makes interesting comparisons about the differing rates of adoption.
Elearning in Hong Kong Organizations details how managers perceive the progress of e-learning, what barriers they perceive, and the concerns surrounding its implementation. It will be useful both for organizations thinking about elearning as well as elearning vendors.
Key findings include:
- Hong Kong managers are less aware and less confident about elearning than their Singapore counterparts
- Awareness is directly linked to implementations and investment
- Implementations are fragmentary, and there are few widely visible lead adopters
- The catalyst and advocacy role played by the Singapore government is lacking in Hong Kong, and probably accounts for the slower adoption rate
