What type of course do people want to create?

I believe that IS the primary market in eLearning. Here's what I mean.
Much of the training community seems to still be at the Web 0.5 stage
e.g Web .5 is the technology we used before the web.
Most SME's (subject matter experts) like to give presentations, but now they are realizing that because of financial pressures, they must adopt the new tools. However, and
this is ironic, trainers don't want to learn new tools and approaches. So
the number 1 solution is to outsource. The number 2 solution is to use pre-web
technology e.g. PowerPoint. The end products tend to reflect
the Web 0.5 approach because anything that is Web 1.0 or later is "too
different".
