You are right on! <br />I'd say the time is right for eLearning in academic settings and eLearning in corporate settings to be sharing best practices. While there are some fundamental differences in the goals and objectives of each, many of the best practices in one area can be utilized effectively by the other.

Most of the information in grade school and high school has been strictly one way, and in a sense the student can either take it (i.e. participate actively in their learning by following instructions) or leave it (i.e. ignore instructions and take the consequences)Lisa M Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04276932877292681802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955557472470466493.post-1808414962542373952011-05-26T08:44:27.898-07:002011-05-26T08:44:27.898-07:00As a director of my college's instructional te...As a director of my college's instructional technology department, these are words we love to hear.
