Jack Phillips and Holly Burkett

“An e-learning participant is generally disconnected from the instructor and can conveniently ignore the computer, which reduces application of learning.”

Commitment to Instructor

“In an instructor-led process, there is often a commitment made between the participant and the instructor that might increase the likelihood of participants applying what was learned.”

Jack Phillips, PhD
