Anne,

A very intersting post, and yes online training is a wonderful thing. I think the key is the buy in from all employees. In my career of higher education I find long tenured employees tend to be less willing to buy into new and better processes simply because they are new. It would seem in this profession where goals and objectives are high on the priority they would be more accepting of changes like this. And not that I am getting wealthy in this field personally, I know we are very well paid and the benefits of working in an educational environment are tremendous. So what have you discovered about employee motivation in contrast to student motivation? Is there a real difference?
