(January 2, 2014) Here are the new lists of the fifth annual ‘Top Ten’ most influential people in the corporate e-learning sector, in the World, Europe, the UK and Asia-Pacific.

These lists are compiled from a corporate online learning perspective, on the basis of a person’s perceived current influence on the online learning industry – as a practitioner, commentator, facilitator and/or thought leader. In such a subjective area, opinions will always differ – and there is no guarantee that the judges’ decisions will meet with universal acclaim - but these lists represent what a number of people think about the personalities who lead the corporate online learning world.
