Our New Approach to Planet’s Pick of the Week

elearningtyro — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 17:03:57 +0000

Hello all,

We just wanted to keep you posted about a possible change in our approach towards E-Learning Planet’s “Pick of the Week”. So far, we have been selecting only one blogger and a blog post as our favourite pick of the week. Based on our experiences while selecting the best blogger and blog post, we realized that more than one blogger and blog post deserve to be listed as our pick. Therefore, we now want to be more generous in our listing criteria by increasing the number of best bloggers and blog posts, rather than sticking to just ONE. By doing this, we also feel that you will get to know more interesting and useful blog posts.

Stay tuned and check out our blog section on the second half of every week to gain access to our weekly roundup of informative blog posts related to the learning industry. Have a good day.

Regards,

Sathish

Indian E-Learning Salary Survey 2009

elearningtyro — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 15:42:38 +0000

Recently, I completed the unofficial salary survey for e-learning jobs in India for the year 2009. Kudos to this initiative by Manish Mohan!

The survey includes meaningful and critical questions; it just takes 2 minutes for you to complete this survey, and your responses could help Manish to identify the following details:

Latest salary range of e-learning professionals belonging to different functional areas.
Impact of global economic slowdown on salary hikes for the financial year 2009-2010.

I am sure you will also participate in Manish’s survey and motivate his great initiative. For further details, visit Manish’s post on Unofficial eLearning Salary Survey 2009.
