E-learning will enable you to enhance your skills even if you can’t travel to an offsite training facility or if you have a hectic work schedule.

Roger Schank, professor emeritus and founder of the Institute for Learning Sciences at Northwestern University and one of the world’s top researchers of artificial intelligence, learning theory and cognitive science, has been appointed Chief Learning Officer. As CLO, Schank will oversee the design and implementation of the e-learning curriculum. Schank, who has also taught at Yale University among other top institutions and is author of some 25 books, is a pioneer and innovator in applying the Learning by Doing philosophy to online education. “People know that they learn by doing precisely because they know that they can learn nothing of value without constant practice” said Schank.
Gawker’s take on this: Trump University To Cultivate Failed Casino Proprietors.
