ABOUT THE PROGRAM

What does digital learning look like? How can we use online sources to support learning? Do rapid-development tools increase or decrease the quality of e-Learning courses? Is there a way to enable more learning with tighter budgets? We’re launching our program year by asking big questions and sharing opinions about the answers. Mary Texer will facilitate what’s sure to be a lively roundtable discussion about the state of our industry.
