-American Proverb

One For All

Teams are units of belonging. Members join, are energized by the team's spirit, and a sense of belonging that encourages them to contribute to give back to the team.

- Jono Bacon (The Art of Community)

Learning

A persisting change in human performance or performance potential…[which] must come about as a result of the learner’s experience and interaction with the world.

Driscoll (2000)

Half of what is known today was not known 10 years ago. The amount of knowledge in the world has doubled in the past 10 years and is doubling every 18 months according to the American Society of Training and Documentation (ASTD). To combat the shrinking half-life of knowledge, organizations have been forced to develop new methods of deploying instruction. -Gonzalez, C., (2004). The Role of Blended Learning in the World of Technology.
