ELearning is still tough going
The majority of elearning articles are very up beat about the possibilities, enjoyment and interaction but often leave out the problems, technical issues and frustration. Personally I think that elearning is the future and it will greatly enhance our training capabilities but it is still early days and it doesn’t always work the way…

Sir Ken, Again
I have written a few times about Sir Ken Robinson. You can check these posts here, here and here. I notice now that I never posted his now famous TED speech. I can highly recommend it. Watch it here. The reason I am bringing this up now is that four years on Ken has made…

Online learning is better
Another interesting post on online learning. It appears from this research “On average, students in online learning conditions performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction.” Not by much though. Intriguing is the final comment by the researcher who says that despite these findings learning must occur in a community. I suppose that is an online…

A new training term?
Here’s a new training term for you, edupreneur. Well at least it was for me. I picked this up from a post at the Huffington Post. You can read it here. There appears to be a real educational revolution happening in America as opposed to our educational reshuffle which has really amounted to very little.…
