In a survey of more than 350 eLearning practitioners around the globe, a solid majority of respondents (60%) said that they consider their eLearning programs to be "good" or "excellent." This result was surprising, given considerable discussion in the literature about drop-out rates and poor quality. In another somewhat surprising response, fully two-fifths of respondents (41%) say that they are using eLearning enterprisewide. (Quality and Effectiveness of eLearning) Free download of report (pdf)

A creativity expert distinguishes the concept of creativity from that of innovation and discusses how to create a corporate culture that really fosters creativity
"a fellow from California tested kids at the ages of three and four. He found that almost 95 percent of the kids scored near the top of a creativity test. By the time kids get to age 14, about 60 percent score at that level. By the time they are 24 years old, only two percent score in the top two percent. Most of that loss comes from acculturation, making tradeoffs, learning to conform, learning to borrow knowledge. It doesn't come from not being creative." People are born with that. Another colleague of mine, a psychologist at Harvard, described the idea of learning as "a creative encounter with the unknown." As such, it is essential to living.
