Özet: Technological advances are dramatically altering company in-service training and development in India. Although the adoption of online learning programs by Indian organizations has been significant in recent years, the capabilities and efficacy of such programs have yet to be fully investigated. In this study, we have investigated the effectiveness of corporate e-learning through a survey to almost 200 employees working in public and private banks in India, ranging from 30 to 50 years old. The employees had various backgrounds in computer skills, beliefs, and interests and such differences cause different perceptions towards e-learning and thus its effectiveness. We found no age correlation in attitude towards e-learning or towards its uptake and effectiveness. Findings suggested that eliciting actual e-learning needs from the employees, rather than company top-down directive, would enhance attitudes, uptake and effectiveness.
