Learning by design: Business Training Online - Lindsay Kelly, Northern Ontario Business

An emerging area generating interest amongst employers is the transition to online content. Rocca-Cirelli said it’s surprising that more businesses and organizations haven’t already made that change. “I find there’s still a culture shift that has to exist for both the post-secondary system and industry to adopt online training 100 per cent in Ontario — more, I find, than in other provinces,” she said. “We’re getting there, but when you look at provinces such as Alberta, they’re way ahead of the curve when it comes to online training and education.” Online education and training are particularly beneficial in Northern Ontario where distance can prevent people from attending training sessions in person, she added. Online content has a greater reach, while people can remain in their home location. http://www.northernlife.ca/news/localNews/2014/12/27-creative-learning-sudbury.aspx
