Our New Approach to Planet’s Pick of the Week December 10, 2009

Posted by elearningtyro in : Announcements, Planet's Pick , add a comment

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
