Employers jumping on e-learning bandwagon - VIRGINIA GALT, Globe and Mail
For software company president Mike Gardner, one of the most enjoyable aspects of e-learning is the informal brainstorming that goes on around the virtual water cooler. "All of us religiously read the water cooler," said Mr. Gardner, who is earning his executive MBA in Vancouver through an electronic hookup with Queen's University in Kingston, Ont. Between formal classes, held in locations across the country every second weekend, the classmates compare notes on-line, often in the water cooler chat room. If someone is grappling with a problem in his or her day job, fellow students and professors are quick to weigh in with advice. They pass tips about job opportunities and sometimes gossip about the merits of this or that employer.
