The Death of E-learning
E-learning, but not how you’re used to it! Less noise, more candour. Interviews, panel discussions, retrospectives - every episode has something different! We talk to interesting people and ask some big questions - 'Is this the end of learning design?' - 'Can creativity and productivity coexist in harmony?' - but mainly, we challenge people to decide 'What aspect of e-learning would you like to see the death of?'
