Abstract

Modern organizations are evolving into dynamic workplaces, challenging employees to become involved in new, exciting ways. Reengineering challenges employees to embrace roles that are evolving as quickly as their organizations. New roles provide empowerment for employees who become increasingly self-managed within these learning organizations. Personal growth is not only initiated and nurtured – but expected. More of these employees are entering our virtual classrooms, welcoming the opportunity and challenge that higher education represents. The focus of this paper is whether educational institutions are up to the task. Have they evolved as other modern organizations? Are they prepared to extend through e-learning the work that learning organizations began? Is higher education up to the challenges that these individuals bring from their workplaces into our virtual classrooms? Moreover, are we as e-learning educators prepared for these dynamic, empowered, and self-managed individuals?
