micro-blog great, but how interactive can this be. I’m sorry but watching a video link, is not engaging social learning in my book. But, the reason I constantly bash this into e-learning vendors heads is this just DON’T GET IT. near the bottom e-readers and tablets. Oh, yeah, social learning.

Some vendors push heavily on PPT, implying that a great WBT is really a PPT converted to Flash. Flash output – still red hot.
