'I’ll shortly be on the road going both near and far. And it occurred to me that the distance isn’t the issue so much (aside from the time zone) as is the adaptations you face. I’ll suggest it’s the change that you must adapt to as much as the time. Sure, first of all, there’re the time differences. On short jaunts, the direction matters too.

One of the most serious mistakes any company can make when deciding on its eLearning strategy is to ignore the specific advantages of the format and simply deploy a copy of a training strategy that would be possible with old-fashioned methods. Simultaneous classroom sessions are no longer the main way to deliver information, and the idea that course materials should be static rather than interactive seems set for a change.

Cathy was in a state of disbelief. We taught parallel sections of a music appreciation course, but we needed to write the content ourselves.

'One of the great things about elearning is that it can be delivered consistently to anyone who takes the course. That is, the presentation of the material is always the same, so you know that the main points are being delivered in a predictable fashion. However, what is unpredictable is the audience. Each learner who takes your online course comes with a different background, agenda, and attitude towards the material.
