An article in CLO magazine entitled "Way Too Easy" describes the current status of most e-learning opportunities.  The author of the article, Elliot Masie, argues that we must "reverse the dumbing down of e-learning" and create e-learning modules that challenge the participant. Assumingly, a business employs the e-learning method to expedite training, reduce costs, and increase offerings.  Unfortunately, according to the article, the content has been sacrificed for these benefits.  In many instances the training or education offered by e-learning opportunities are about as significant as the cleaning checklists on the back of the rest-stop bathroom door.  Been there, done that....but no one else can tell by looking.  The author encourages companies to consider beefing up their content and approaches to e-learning so that the experience may be one of significance that leads to competency in the workplace.  Of course, this "dumbing down" isn't limited to e-learning.  In fact, it seems to be almost an epidemic in our country.
