SCOPING THE POTENTIAL FOR
E-LEARNING IN RAIL
(P4.108 – COMPLETE)
Aim: To scope different approaches
to e-learning, both outside and
inside the rail industry
Scoping study
Case study
Ten case study organisations
How is e-learning being used?
How effective is e-learning?
What enables e-learning and
what are the barriers?
What can rail organisations
learn from other sectors?
Research framework
Industry/national context
Organisational context
Learning and development
context
Individual employee context
Key implications:
Industry/national context
Opportunities to share e-learning
programs within the industry
Explore the establishment of a
“learning objects repository” and
e-learning forums

Raising awareness and educating
decisions makers on e-learning
Articulating the benefits of e-
learning
Recognise the potential for linking
e-learning with EIS
Access to advice about forms of
e-learning

information sharing opportunities
Virtual networking
Models of approaches to e-
learning to guide decision makers

perspective
Overall conclusion -1-
The industry stands to gain a
great deal from taking a more
collaborative approach to the
