Came across a post on the topic of classroom training vs e-learning training by Ron Przywara that I thought you might like.
Excerpt:
"If the decision is made using numbers on a balance sheet the obvious choice would seem to be “e-learning”. The direct cost of distance learning is generally lower than a classroom instructor-led course (average 40%-60% less) and there’s no travel expenses (mileage, hotel, etc.). The choice though is not as simple as the expense. Like any business decision, the cost is an influence, but there are other components in the equation that require consideration. In this article we’ll take a look at some of the components, both positives and challenges, of e-learning and classroom instructor-led training and present you with the information to help you make an informed business decision."

In the past, we have had lots of posts on generational issues in the workforce and had a podcast on it through our SyberWorks e-Learning Podcast Series, but as a follow up:
FYI, There was an article in today's Wall Street Journal by Erin White, Age is as Age Does: Making the Generational Gap Work for You, about how some managers are making use of a variety of different strategies pertaining to multi-generational composition of today's workforce.
The article cites the example of an eastern regional sales manager for NovoNordisk AS, who "has embraced an increasingly popular management theory: To improve productivity, treat workers of different ages differently."
The article goes on to cite how he persuaded his employer to let young sales rep drive Jeeps while keeping traditional sedans for others or highlighting sales results by team over individual performance so 20 somethings feel part of a group effort, but also "appealing to the competitive street in older reps" by singling out top performers, reassuring "one worried 30-year veteran" by telling him, "Your an expert in what you do." And it seems like its translating into results because sales numbers are going up.

Employers Turning To Games For Training
Excerpt:
"A study released today by the Entertainment Software Association finds that seventy percent of major employers in the U.S. utilize some form of gaming technology in their training programs.
