E-learning Bugbears

We’ve interviewed leading lights in the e-learning field from Berkeley to Brighton and they all have one thing in common: they love talking about what drives them crazy about e-learning and training. Hear them roar...

This month we present a batch of bugbears (if you know the right collective noun, let us know) from recent interviews.

You can listen to the rants of the grumpy, er, age diverse, men and women of e-learning by clicking the links below. If you want to download the audio, use the links. Download times vary; approximately 20 seconds per clip on a broadband connection.

Of course, the most common bugbear about e-learning is that it costs too much and takes too long. If that's your issue, check out our Rapid E-learning resources for help.

Caution: do not listen to when driving if you’re prone to road rage….
