Who we are


Brandon Hall, Ph.D.

Since 1993, we have provided independent, objective information about using technology for learning to help you make the right decisions for your organization. We keep you well-informed on trends, best practices, tools and vendors, without bias.

That's why we do not accept advertising on this site or in our publications. Information is selected and recommendations are made solely on value to you.

You are probably already convinced of the merits of e-Learning, and you probably already know how e-Learning can deliver more training, more effectively, throughout an organization. Now, it’s time to get everyone else on board.

We’ve designed this Web site to help disseminate the research and information we are continually compiling. We have many free resources, white papers, discussion groups, and research reports to help guide you through the growing and changing e-Learning industry, from “How To” reports for beginners, to product reviews for instructional designers and purchasers, to market analysis of the industry for market watchers and shapers. We hope that you will look to us in your search for the right e-Learning solutions for your organization.
