Time: 11:00 am - 11:40 am
Are your elearning projects getting the results you expected? Do they improve organizational performance in a sustainable way? If not, perhaps you’ve inadvertently stumbled upon one of the ways organizations get elearning wrong. Through interactive, game-style dialogue, participants will explore the top five mistakes organizations make when implementing elearning. The group will spend time reflecting on each issue as it is uncovered, and discuss ways it may be avoided. These mistakes have been identified using a completely unscientific poll of training professionals across several social networks and will be discussed using anecdotes and examples from both the presenter’s and audience’s own experience.
