How can e-learning make you a billionaire? Part - I

Software and electronics have brought fundamental changes in our lives. Changes in the way we work (MS Office), in the way we bank (PayPal), in the way we connect (Facebook), in the way we shop (Amazon, eBay), in the way we communicate (Hotmail, Skype, IM), in the way we seek information (Google) and more. Thus it is not surprising that the same technology building blocks are revolutionizing another fundamental aspect of our lives: the way knowledge is generated and distributed across societies.

Not only is e-learning changing our lives in remarkable ways, it�s also presenting tremendous entrepreneurial opportunities. There are opportunities in eLearning to help the US educational institutions to compete in science technology engineering and mathematics with the rest of the world. There are opportunities in US corporations to increase saving with use of eLearning. And there are opportunities in growing economies of India and China, as well as the rest of the developing world, to educate more of their masses into highly skilled labor force and continue to propel their economies further.

Whether you are an entrepreneur, a budding entrepreneur, an investor, or a leader, please join us to learn more of the current e-learning trends and opportunities from our distinguished panelists.
