Read More10 Tips for Getting Started in E-Learning
Do you remember your first E-Learning project? You know what I mean, the one that started it all? Some of you are sitting there reading this with a smile on your face as you laugh at the thought of stumbling your way through your first project. We’ve all been there. And that is what this […]
Read MoreThe Burning E-Learning Question: Does Slide Count Matter?
As I sit down to write this post I’m thinking back on my long lost college days.
