The Tragedy of eLearning. The 1999 Online Learning conference in Los Angeles was ground zero for eLearning. CBT Systems told the world it was being reincarnated as SmartForce, the eLearning Company. Yet at the ASTD Conference six months later, dozens of vendors claimed to have eLearning. Put on your crap detectors.

When it comes to learning and training, devise an approach to your learning model that blends what your learners need to “know” with what they need to “do”. You will still need to create good content, but simple eLearning development tools will help make the transition from ILT to blended learning a smoother one.
