Even with all the hype surrounding the "whiz bang" training technologies now available (see figure\* below), most corporate training is still delivered face-to-face. According to the 2007 ASTD State of the Industry Report, 65.3 percent of all training was delivered in a traditional format in 2006, down a little more than 10 percent from 2001 (76 percent). If you had asked a training industry expert in 2001 what the landscape would look like in five years, the estimate of the amount of training delivered via the traditional classroom would have been a lot lower.
