Failed at school and college I wanted to learning! I did eLearning: own pace and my own time-
enjoyed it! Structured education-Degree and MBA-not
as challenging

Why I do eLearning
Face to Face Training is expensive◦ Trainer and Materials ◦ Travel costs and Staff time◦ Resources (room, overheads, etc)
Current Situation of Training
Impact of learning and change is low Low long term retention of learning
Impact

Why Change Learning?

What and How you learn more important
Where you learn is not important
“The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.”

Greater constructivists-meaning from learning and relating to the mind’s experiences and drawing connections
Learning from peers are brings greater room for debate, discussion, exploration and kindred
