The eLearning Foundations Intensive

Mon. and Tue., March 19 & 20

The eLearning Foundations Intensive is a two-day event specifically for those with training management expertise, but limited experience in the design, implementation, or management of a successful organizational eLearning effort.

The program is divided into four sections to give you a solid foundation in the topics and issues you need to understand. Each section is carefully crafted and builds on lessons learned to lead you through a logical progression of topics to help you build the foundation of your eLearning strategy.
