• Resumen

  • A recent World Bank (World Bank 2003) report stated that “Lifelong learning is education for the knowledge economy.” If lifelong learning is education’s fuel, then the knowledge economy’s engine is flexible learning. This article examines a digital learning model developed to enable Thailand’s Revenue Department to promote active engagement of its upper management in order to promote organizational change. These “e” case studies allow managers to generate their own solutions to current situations identified in their work environment. Through the use of high quality digital video and DVD technology, learners transform the passive training environment into one of active engagement, and when learners are engaged, motivation is not a concern. Although the initial project was created for use on DVD systems its design flexibility allows it to be implemented on intranet and Internet systems. Portions of this paper were included in a previous talk (Johnson, C. 2005b).
