There’s absolutely no doubt that it takes a long time – in many cases, much too long – to produce half-decent interactive lessons. In fact, since the shift from the classroom to e-learning got under way, the demand is more common not less, even though the lead time for self-study materials has to be greater than that for the classroom.

Is e-learning about the delivery of self-study lessons or about the use of social media at work? I'm a consultant in e-learning and blended learning, yet very few people would have a common understanding of what that meant. Is it about content or about collaboration? About virtual classrooms or about virtual worlds?

Apart from a lesson in public speaking, Gladwell also delivered a fascinating treatise on the fallibility of experts. I wasn’t disappointed. He spoke for one hour without visual aids and with no more than a cursory glimpse at his notes. He was the very epitome of calm, confidence and charm.

No-one will still be using e-learning to deliver lessons that go on for hours. A fair proportion of this formal learning will still be delivered in classrooms, but supported by self-paced content, work-based assignments and coaching. There'll be plenty of rapid content and in a wide variety of forms, including audio, video and slide shows.
