I’ll do the math(s) A look at elearning costs

When people think about using video for training, they often say that it’s too expensive.

Maybe it used to be, but I don’t think it need be anymore.

Because there’s something else that needs to be put into the equation, and that’s the time users spend taking part in a course or watching a training video.

New Online Data Protection Course


What if we did things differently? Well we did.

Let’s start at the beginning. A lot of people handle personal information and it’s important that they do so correctly. Not just because there are regulations that say you must, but because this information is personal and often sensitive, and can be used by others to […]
