"When it comes to learning media, books, CD-ROMs and videos are still the most popular methods with our customers, although many companies are now looking to replace their video libraries with DVDs and e-learning continues to grow" revealed Alun Harvey, Open Mind's managing director.
"Interestingly, this suggests that self-paced learning is still growing in popularity - although many videos and DVDs are also used by trainers, and the traditional training course is still alive and well within UK plc." Open Mind, the UK's largest distributor of corporate learning resources with over 10,000 learning resources in all forms of delivery media - from the hi-tech online, DVD and CD-ROM delivered programmes, through the traditional video programmes to books and audio tapes - regularly deals with over 600 corporate and public sector customers throughout the UK.
