Arizona, a Leader in the eLearning Industry

Arizona, home to many of the world's leading eLearning companies, is a leader in the eLearning industry. It is estimated that eLearning contributes over $3 billion annually to the state's economy.

Arizona companies develop and provide a broad spectrum of technologies and services from content and learning management systems to online education and training programs, simulations, web casting, web conferencing, consulting, eLearning research, and more.

An Arizona Priority

In 1999 eLearning was one of only five topic areas addressed by the Arizona Partnership for the New Economy (APNE). APNE was formed by the Governor to position Arizona as a leader in the new economy. Their recommendation: eLearning becomes pervasive in all segments of Arizona society as a tool for teaching, learning, and conducting business at an internationally competitive level. As a result, eLearning helps Arizona residents and companies become, and remain, internationally competitive.
