Editorial Note: We’ve written about the importance of learning culture and suggested that fostering a learning culture requires a different perspective on learning and—by extension—what’s needed to support effective learning. It also requires re-thinking significantly how the stakeholders in your learning business interact, the assumptions they bring to the table, and how new perspectives translate …
by Amy Morrisey of Artisan E-Learning We work with a lot of different associations at Artisan E-Learning. We’ve noticed when associations are new to e-learning, it’s common for them to underestimate the complexity and number of moving parts involved in a project.
