E-learning is all too easy to get wrong

I wholeheartedly agree with Charles Jennings’s comments in the online article “Learning professionals not innovative enough in e-learning”, that training and learning professionals are unwilling to be creative with e-learning methods. Many still feel threatened by it, especially when in the past they have seen a reduction in headcount among face-to-face delivery staff following the deployment of e-learning. Not only that, but organisations that focus on cost-cutting as a primary driver for the introduction of e-learning often commission what is essentially online page turning.
