We have all seen it.
You are reading an article or on your favorite social network and see the infamous title:
Is “Insert Popular Industry Here” Dead?
Or in my case, the article I came across was “Is eLearning Dead?“ by an industry professional I have a lot of respect for, Karl Kapp.
Naturally, the click-bait worked on me. I clicked, I read, and I disagree.
Let me get something on record: I appreciate the amount of thought that Karl used in his article. He approached the subject from multiple angles and cited different sources. Certainly a more valiant effort than most articles of this nature.
While some may agree based on Karl’s definition that elearning may be dying, I look at it in an entirely different way.
The industry isn’t dying. It’s thriving and (this is the important part) it is adapting.
