We are pretty sure that people will learn less from a rapid eLearning piece that's basically just a PowerPoint + Audio as compared to an hours worth of fun, interactive courseware. And this isn't a theoretical question - it's something we face all the time. But, if the cost is significantly higher, is it really worth it? In what cases?

Where does PowerPoint fit into the standards? Instead, I'd like to focus on what Bill asks about the challenges around training standards and eLearning 2.0 : What is happening with the eLearning world is that we lack standardization. Should we support Flash? Should we be supporting OpenOffice? Where does SCORM fit into the picture?

How many times have I told someone that emailing around a PowerPoint slide deck to the sales people doesn't constitute training. I would very much be interested in what you had to say in your presentation, but a PDF of the slide deck doesn't do much for me. I can completely understand his sentiment. Yet, here I am posting my slides.
