"Slimmed down, squeezed and axed – the credit crunch is biting at the heels of the training and development budget. ....'Taming the Wolf at the Door', by leadership development organization Common Purpose, found that almost half of training and development professionals surveyed are expecting a budget cut of 20% or more.
Team building and soft skills development will be hit hardest, while technical skills training and leadership development are considered the least likely to be cut, they say. It has never been more challenging to deliver a training and learning programme but it can be done - delve deep and a number of solutions can be found to be lurking."

The article covered different perspectives from various e-learning gurus and analysts. Stokdyk quotes e-learning pundit Donald Clark, "n Clark's view, "m" stood for "missing". Mobile learning was proving
elusive because "people don’t really seem to understand what they want
to do with these devices", he wrote. Different models with different
screen sizes and operating specs meant the mobile market was very
fragmented, and mobile video was dead in the water, he added."
Stokdyk goes on to talk about Jane Hart's perspective on the subject, "Jane Hart, who compiles a list of the Top 100 Tools for Learning, confirmed that educators are much more willing to embrace new technologies and informal approaches than commercial trainers....".
He goes on to talk about the economic factors holding back mobile learning citing Clive Shepard, "Clive Shepherd recently warned smaller elearning content developers
about the impact the downturn would have on client behaviour. Because
of the time, cost and environmental advantages, elearning should hold
its own, he said, but there's likely to be less interest in
experimenting with new approaches using sophisticated blends or web 2.0
techniques.
"To get these going you'll need to demonstrate cast
iron cost savings, a low initial investment and the minimum risk of
disruption. Remember, training will not be the biggest issue an
employer will be grappling with," Shepherd wrote."
Stokdyke discusses the technical obstacles of different browsers, various platforms, bandwidth considerations, and tiny screen sizes as a hindrance to content developers. He also cites Michael Hanely's lament," is it any wonder that training and content providers are reticent about developing courseware?"
