Editor's note
=============
How has e-learning been received within your organisation - has it
been a smooth roll-out or an uphill struggle requiring seemingly
endless internal marketing?

This week on TrainingZONE we have an analysis of Skillsoft's survey
of how employees in 14 different companies felt about e-learning.

The results may well surprise you!
