Editor's note
==============
This week, E-learningZone, TrainingZONE's dedicated area for all
things online, has had a comprehensive re-jig. With a greater
emphasis on in-depth features, opinion and advice, E-
learningZone's strategy, technology and design pages have been
reorganised to make it easier to find the article you need. We've
also added three whole new sections; the Library, showcasing our
how-to guides on getting started with using technology and
learning, the Events page, packed with reviews from conferences
and exhibitions and a calendar showing all the key training
conferences with an e-learning interest and E-learning in Focus,
which highlights the latest state-of-the-market news, surveys and
industry updates on e-learning. Access it all now at

Don't waste your IT training budget! Learning is only effective
if it is reinforced after the training, otherwise the benefits
are lost. A study shows that after 2 days only 33 percent of the
knowledge remained and after 3 weeks, just 15 percent! Are you
wasting your money? Support your IT training better now with
Nevada Learning Series guides.
