I believe the provenance of this blog post it my analysis of the stages of e-learning design taught during the MAODE, modelled on the OU's approach and based on Gilly Salmon's 'five steps' of e-tivities. Though EMA suggests it was part of an 'End of Module Assessment'. It looks handy so I want to know I have it somewhere!
What you should do (the corporate perspective):
Identify a clear business problem or opportunity to which e-learning can be effectively applied.
Choose the provider based on two things:
their clear solution to the business need
a means of measuring the value that solution delivers
