Bringing reality to E-Learning

E-LEARNING that blends online exercises with mentoring could increase worker performance by 50 per cent over online training alone, a study finds.
The Thomson Job Impact Study finds a blended learning model using scenario-based exercises (SBEs), or real-world situations, improves workforce productivity.
The international study by Thomson/NETg covered 200 employees at all organisational levels across a range of industries, including aerospace, computing and manufacturing.
I like this a lot. I'm sometimes skeptical about the online learning when it removes much of the direct human contact students or traninees get in traditional classroom education. Mentoring is a great way to bridge some of those gaps.
