Myth: It takes less time to create an online course than a face-to-face course.

Highlighted by tomlaigle

Myth: You can “repurpose” [definition: to use or convert for use in another format or product] a face-to-face course and put it online. (look, the book is now on CD!)This, to me, is copy-and-paste e-learning. I can go to Amazon.com and order a book and read it. Or I can order a recorded book and have someone read it to me. It’s not learning. Reading the “script” of an ILT course is not online learning. However, creating a learning environment where people can discuss, rate, do additional research, etc. based the book….well, not so crazy.)
