That misunderstanding is …

Maybe you have training staff or IT staff in-house, wouldn’t it be easier and cheaper to get them to do it? The problem with the in-house approach is the range of skills that is required to deliver good e-learning. Of course, if you give anyone with some IT skills …

We were accepted into an Incubator program, and as a part of that we were asked to attend and present at Innovation Arabia 9.

What is flipping the classroom? Anyone that has talked to me about e-learning, has surely heard me wax lyrical about the concept of flipping the classroom.
