Today's online learning takes place in a rich, collaborative environment.

Delivery of eLearning 2.0 content typically includes such elements as:

• Hosting of content components;
• Video streaming;
• Course or topic-based communities;
• Social networking functions;
• Chat rooms;
• Forums;
• Blogs;
• Student-supplied content;
• Self-registration;
• Variable payment and subscription models;
• Student activity and progress reports;
• Administrative tools.

While a Learning Management System (LMS) is still typically at the heart of the eLearning content delivery, it is frequently embedded into a social network learning environment. The specific components of your eLearning delivery platform should be selected based upon your business objectives, the student population you wish to serve, and the nature of your training content.
