Most instructor-led materials only contain about 30 to 50% of what is actually conveyed to the students in the classroom—the instructor provides the rest in the form of examples, elaborations, etc. Recently I’ve worked on several projects for clients where I converted their existing classroom training to e-learning.

E-LEARNING UNCOVERED | THURSDAY, MAY 2, 2013 A Chromebook and Claro: One Man’s E-Learning Day Out
No wi-fi provided by the surf. 'I’ve been intrigued lately by the idea of living my digital life entirely “in the cloud”.
