“Just put the document online,” is just one of the many statements you’ll hear upper management and others say about e-Learning. And it’s also just one of many myths that instructional designers, e-Learning developers, and technical communicators who are interested in developing skills in e-Learning must face and answer. But what are the answers?
In this interactive session, Jane MacKenzie-Smith will explore many myths about e-Learning, and offer some insights as to why they are myths, and how to educate clients and management so that the myths are not perpetuated. Come for a fun, engaging, and interactive discussion.
