Driving eLearning Engagement Through Innovation and Interactivity

An important challenge in developing and delivering eLearning is driving learner engagement. Research has shown that engagement is critical to online learning. But with today's constant distractions, how do you get online learners to not only pay attention, but to truly engage with content, with trainers, and with other learners? This Online Forum focuses on how you can use innovation and interactivity to create engaging and effective eLearning experiences.
