55 — How can L&D start delivering online learning?

Here at GoodPractice, we often speak about learning tech as if everybody is already using it. This week, we want to take a step back for a discussion on getting started. So, today, international speaker and trendcatcher Ger Driesen of aNewSpring joins Ross and Stef to share his advice for anyone looking to launch their first online solution. If you'd like to share your thoughts on the show, you can find Ger on Twitter @GerDriesen, Ross @RossGarnerGP and Stef @Stefania_Scott. You can also tweet @GoodPractice or @GoodpracticeAus.
