eLearning 24-7

I bring this up, because after it was announced that Cornerstone will be acquiring SumTotal, the pundits went out and espoused some very interesting ideas.

eLearning 24-7

I once recall a conversation I had with Skillsoft, before they purchased SumTotal. . For example, I really don’t see an advantage of keeping courses for Microsoft XP or 2000. .
