Learning on Demand

This paper examines learning-on-demand (LOD) - the knowledge-based learning model; forces for change; early adopters and implementation barriers. According to the authors, LOD reduces knowledge acquisition time, cuts travel costs for both students and teachers, lowers off-the-job related expenses, reduces classroom overheads and lowers materials expenses. Through LOD higher-quality learning improves organizational performance and increases employees' breadth of knowledge and ability to deploy skills in the service of strategic objectives.
