This time around we focus on the basics – learning and its right mix. We talk about the changes in the key drivers for blended learning, some fundamental characteristics of training to be followed, and the pros and cons of eLearning. And while we are on this, how can social learning and game-based learning be left behind? Read an exciting case study in social learning and learn about some games and game-related projects that are already making a difference.

Besides this, quench your thirst for knowledge with some of the hottest tools, latest research and reports and infographics. Find all this and more in our Weekly Digest – a collection of top 13 links from the week gone by, each accompanied by a quick brief.
