Yesterday I finished my portion

Yesterday I finished my portion of the manuscript for the book I'm writing with Lance Dublin. It's about implementing eLearning. The real skinny, not the vendor hype. Comes out this October. The complexity of making eLearning work is probably one reason idiotic stuff like this really gets my goat.

Not only is this chart misleading, it is out and out wrong. "The new training...untouched by human hands." You betcha.

The chart doesn't even list the amortization of a Docent license, so I guess the example doesn't include an LMS. No mentors. No equipment. No security. No help desk. No publicity. No assessment. No reinforcement. No follow-up. No peer interaction. I'm sure it will be a great course.

If you've been considering Docent, why not ask them if these cost-free implementations really work? And whether this is the sort of implementation they recommend to their customers.
