  • Method and system for identifying barriers and gaps to E-learning attraction
    Publication number: 20060078868
    Abstract: A computer system, method, program product, and service method for evaluating a learning program/service is disclosed with one or more databases having one or more variables. The invention systematically determines the attractiveness of the program/service, preferably a learning program, to one or more end users by determining one or more variables. Each of the variables defines one or more aspects of the learning program/service. An assessment value is associated with each of the variables. The assessment value is a combination of two or more importance assessments given by one or more of the users for each of the respective aspects. A provisioning value is also associated with each of the variables. The provisioning value is a combination of two or more availability assessments given by one or more stake holders for the respective aspect.
