(You know, just so it can spite you and make it you look like you’re crazy). eLearning is no exception. But it’s a bit more complicated than a broken vacuum cleaner.

So I’m standing in a conference room with my trusty slide deck and handouts, looking out at the other folks in the room for my training.
