Does E-Learning work for all the companies?

I've been reading recently Jay Cross's blog. He has been blogging about Inside Learning Technologies for a while. Today, I found out some excellent points of him from his oldest posts about corporate training. He says that "Corporations are flocking to eLearning for all the wrong reasons. It’s cheaper: no travel, no facilities cost, no instructor salaries." I definitely agree with him because in order to get better outcomes businesses should address the needs and identify requirements better of the organization and employees. I think time is already up to open up training departments in big corporations to mentor and support workers needs during their eLearning. Jay's post eLearning is here if you would like to read it.

My first blog entry

Hello everyone,

This is my first blog!

I set up this blog to share the latest information about the corporate training world and hopefully it will be both informative and interesting for all of us. I am eager to see what this blog turns into. In the mean time, I hope to get some feedback via comments about your ideas, experiences, etc.

To help you get to know me, here is a quick summary of my life: I am originally from Istanbul, Turkey. I have been living in the states for about eight years. Currently, I am employed as a Systems Engineer and working for my masters degree. I love SCUBA diving.

So that’s all for now, just a quick introduction, thanks again for reading my first blog entry.

Best,

-Omer
