Last week I read an article in CLO Magazine about blended learning: ”What’s Old is New Again: CLOs aren’t as fond of blended learning as we think” by Giuseppe Auricchio, that had a ring dinger of a quote that I’ll get to in a second.

Temple Smolen, writing in Learning Solutions Magazine, has done a thoughtful dive into the data to look more at The Gender Pay Gap in e-Learning ( a rant we started when we first read the eLearning Guild's 2010 Salary Report! ) The gap is real.
