I grew up and took traditional classes in a classroom. Even though I have a Master's degree, it was 22 years ago and in a traditional classroom. So, e-learning is an impressive evolution in training. From what I am reading thus far, there are some advantages to e-learning over classroom instruction. However, it looks like this type of learning will take more effort for the students and instructor. Keeping track of everything can be time consuming. As I learn about Blackboard, it seems like a well thought out LMS that is relatively easy to use after you get comfortable with it.
