The agencies that deploy eLearning have found the growing

use of eLearning applications. A majority of these endeavors
cater to the field of agriculture and education and to agency
clients or major stakeholders (e.g., farmers, fisher folk,
students) and employees;
Variations in modes of delivery and technology are present
ranging from Blended Learning, On-line Fora or Message
Boards, Short Messaging Systems, Computer-Based Training
(via flash downloads) to full scale online learning curricula;
The various eLearning endeavors are either managed solely
by the agency or with collaboration of other agencies. In
most cases, collaboration was done with agency that had
similar successful launches;

Sustainability of the endeavors for some of the
sites are yet to be determined as some
programs appeared static since their inception.

Considering the few existing endeavors found in

the Philippine bureaucracy, the status of eLearning
as a medium of development is at most in its early
stages.
This however provides an opportunity for
potential growth and use and even a market by
itself to maximize.
