| Comments | ‘It makes sense in particular to deliver underpinning knowledge via e-learning. You don’t have to incorporate fancy animation or sound in the e-learning material, just make sure you are producing a product based on adult learning principles and incorporate activities that will inspire the learner’. Anne Ernst - Manager, Business Improvement, SunWater, Brisbane |
