It’s about who understands your needs, not who has an LMS that is going to adopt kittens in 5 years when it becomes sentient.

Return on Investment or “ROI”: pie chart in the sky

Challenge to Learn

My contention, simply put, is that it can’t. Return on investment and e-learning?

LearnDash

Creating an online course today is different than it was just five years ago, mainly because of the technology we use.

Clark Quinn

What do you see the role of L&D being in the organization? Metaphors are important, as they form a basis for inferences of what fits. We frame our conversations by the metaphors we use, and these frames guide what’s allowed conversation and what’s not.
