Cisco Systems' employees and partners routinely watch videos on the Internet. It's not goofing off or a waste of time. They're watching the videos to learn about the new products that they work with nearly every month. Cisco is not alone.

In fact, IDC predicts that elearning in corporate and government environments will grow at some 11% per year between 2004 and 2007.
