Hi all, I am a researcher/trainer for a corporate information center, and a colleague has requested the following statistical information. I've started searching market research, but thought the collective wisdom of the group may be able to weigh in on a credible resource. Thanks! -Michelle

"I would like to know what companies spent for eLearning development last year, what was the trend of the spending over the last 5 - 10 years, and where the industry forecasts that spending will be for the next 5 - 10 years."

Have you checked the ASTD State of the Industry Report for this past year, as well as previous years?

I'd suggest you look at www.elearningguild.com for such info and also look into reports produced by Bersin and Associations. Of course, they aren't free from either of these sources.
