2. eLearning Laws and Regulations 2.1 eLearning Law in Thailand. 2.2 eLearning Laws and Regulations in USA. 2.3 eLearning Laws and Regulations in UK. 66

2.1 eLearning Law in Thailand. On April 25, 2002, Prof. Charmonman proposed and got approval from the Board of Trustees of Assumption University (AU) to establish the first eLearning College in Thailand: 67

eLearning Law in Thailand (Cont.) In 2002, Prof. Charmonman sent a letter to the Minister of University Affairs asking permission for Assumption University to offer its degree programs in the eLearning mode. The Ministry said it would take a long time to draft the law allowing eLearning in Thailand. 68

eLearning Law in Thailand (Cont.) Prof. Charmonman authored the first draft of the first eLearning decree in Thailand. 69

eLearning Law in Thailand (Cont.) November 26, 2003, the Ministry of University Affairs organized an open hearing on the eLearning decree first draft by Prof. Charmonman. There were about 300 participants. 70

eLearning Law in Thailand (Cont.) As the President of the Computer Association of Thailand under the Royal Patronage of HM the King, Prof. Charmonman - presented the draft law in the morning - chaired the open hearing in the afternoon. The results were used in modifying the law. 71

eLearning Law in Thailand (Cont.) August 2004, Prof. Charmonman was elected Chairman of e-ASEAN Business Council. - At that time, the Thai Government had not passed the eLearning decree. - So, he tried to get help from ASEAN. 72

2.2 eLearning Laws and Regulations in USA 2.2.1 The US Federal Internet Equity and Education Act of 2001. 2.2.2 TEACH Act 2.2.3 The State of Michigan Law 2.2.4 The State of Florida Regulation 79

2.2.1 The US Federal Internet Equity and Education Act of 2001. Prior to the year 2001, eLearning was not completely accepted by US laws. For example: - To be eligible for federal financial aid, students had to satisfy the “50 percent Rule” and the“12-Hour Rule”. * The “50-percent Rule” required students to take at least 50 percent of learning in the classrooms. 80

Education Act of 2001 (Cont.) * The “12-Hour Rule” required higher-education programs that did not operate in a standard semester, trimester, or quarter system to offer a minimum of 12 hours of course work a week. 81

Education Act of 2001 (Cont.) The “12-Hour Rule” were killed by the Internet Equity and Education Act of 2001. Providers of eLearning services had been calling for abolishing the regulations for several years and finally considered the Internet Equity and Education Act of 2001 the US law as making eLearning as legal as the classroom-based learning. 82

2.2.2 TEACH Act. From the paper by Charmonman “eLearning-relate Laws and Court Cases” on December, 2008, Technology, Education and Copyright Harmonization Act of 2002 (TEACH Act) was introduced in the US to make laws concerning eLearning closer to laws for face-to-face classrooms. 83

TEACH Act. (Cont.) It clarifies what usages of copyrighted materials are permitted with regard to eLearning. It also outlines what requirement the eLearning provider, faculty members, staff members, and students must abide by in order to be in compliance with the law. 84

TEACH Act. (Cont.) In 1998, the US Congress directed the Copyright Office to submit a report what should be done to facilitate the use of digital technology in eLearning. The Copyright Office recommended significant changes and a bill to that effect was introduced in March 2001. 85

TEACH Act. (Cont.) For example, the TEACH Act authorizes the educators to digitize copyrighted works for use in eLearning but would have to pare down some of the materials. 86

TEACH Act. (Cont.) In particular, a musical work may be shown in full in the classroom mode of learning, but in eLearning mode, it must be shown only as clips. 87

TEACH Act. (Cont.) The TEACH Act allows performance and displays in the classroom mode of learning, but not digital delivery of the same materials for the eLearning mode. Supplemental reading materials also cannot be made digitally available for eLearning students. 88

TEACH Act. (Cont.) From the paper by Charmonman “eLearning-relate Laws and Court Cases” on December, 2008, the TEACH Act allows the followings: 1) Transmitting performances of all of a non-dramatic literacy or musical work, e.g. a poetry or short story reading may be shown in full but a drama can not. 89

TEACH Act. (Cont.) Transmitting reasonable and limited portions of any other performance, e.g. films and videos of all types. 3) Transmitting displays of any work, i.e. still images of all kinds, in amounts comparable to typical face-to-face displays. 90

2.2.3 The State of Michigan Law Michigan is the first State in the USA to pass a law requiring every high school graduate to take at least one eLearning course. 91

Michigan Law (Cont.) Effective April 2006, all Michigan students must take at least one eLearning course to complete all the requirements for Grade12. 92

Michigan Law (Cont.) Michigan Virtual University (MVU) joined with Blackboard Inc. to deliver eLearning to 450,000 Michigan high school students during the next 3 years thru Michigan Virtual High School (MVHS). 93

Michigan Law (Cont.) With Michigan passing the law requiring every high school student to take at least one eLearning course, other States will probably consider similar laws. 94

Michigan Law (Cont.) If the US Federal Government passes a law to require eLearning, other countries may also have serious consideration to compete. 95

2.2.4 The State of Florida Regulation The State of Florida changed the regulations to allow any student to take any eLearning course they prefer. 96

Florida Regulation (Cont.) From <www.prnewswire.com> December 3, 2010, the Florida parent adopted a plan requiring that all Florida students have access to multiple high quality digital learning. 97

3.3 Top Trends in eLearning and Corporate Training. From <www.hrmreport.com/article/Top-trends-in-e-learning-and-corporate-training>, 2010 GDS Publishing proposed top trends of eLearning: 1) Increasing Training Budgets. 2) Changing Structure and Operations of Training. 3) Increase Use of Outsourcing. 4) Leadership Development Takes Center Stage. 111

The top trends of eLearning (Cont.) 5) Talent Management Drives Changes in HR. 6) eLearning Matures and Continues to Evolve. 7) Learning Content Management Is Growing. 8) Self-published Content Is Being Part of Learning. 9) eLearning Approaches Continue to Evolve. 10) LMS Market Continues to Change. 112

1) Increasing Training Budgets. Corporate eLearning in the US will get more budgets and so other countries may follow suite. The reasons are: - Economic growth cause greater demand on training. - Talent shortages require more training. - Increasing recognition that learning is an integrated talent management process. 113

2) Changing Structure and Operations of Training. Instead of a training unit in each group, shared services for all groups in the enterprise is preferred. Shared services in training support business units in achieving business goals. 114

3) New Economics Lead to Increase Use of Outsourcing. Because technology and sophisticated content development required specialized skills, outsourcing services are preferred, especially for areas not core to company’s expertise and focus. 115

4) Leadership Development Takes Center Stage. By the year 2010, Leadership Development and Succession is the largest single area of spending in training. Companies is almost every industry sector are suffering from a lack of middle managers. 41% of HR managers said their top talent challenge is building and maintaining their leadership pipeline. 116

5) Talent Management Drives Changes in HR. HR must understand and develop organization capabilities. HR must identify critical talents required and provide workforce training. New job roles and organization structure are emerging. 117

6) eLearning Matures and Continues to Evolve. Maintaining the volumes and increasing the quality of eLearning. Reducing the cost and complexity of LMS implementations while increasing use. Creating learning environments for learners. Helping learners learn from communities of practices, blogs, wikis and other forms of self-published content. 118

7) Learning Content Management is Growing. To be able to - Quickly edit content when material changes. - Republish content into various forms. - Make content available as FAQ. - Develop multi-language versions. - Etc. 119

8) Self-published Content is Part of Learning. Explosion in the use of blogs, wikis, and podcasting. Encourage use of self-publishing technologies. Encourage continuously learning, and developing new approach to learn. 120

9) eLearning Approaches Continue to Evolve. Encourage simulations, e.g. thru low-cost and easy-to-use tool like Captivate. Encourage “rapid-eLearning”, e.g. using Adobe Connect, Articulate, Online VDO, Business Simulation, Etc. 121

10) LMS Market Continues to Change. From “Brandon-hall.com” on July 17, 2009, the number of commercial LMS were - 76 in 2008 - 100 in 2009 - continue to grow in 2010. Free LMS, like Moodle is also gaining popularity. 122
