Testimonials: What Readers Are Saying

Online Learning News & Reviews (now Training Tech Talk):

"Just wanted to let you know that I think your Online Learning News and Reviews e-mail newsletters are well done and very useful to me. I particularly like the fact that you have added links to the sites or people you are talking about."
--Tom Pool, Executive Director, Drug Free Business, Bothell, WA

"No matter how busy I am, I take the time to read your newsletter. It talks about real-life training problems. The solutions are practical. It is like having a very large brainstorming group."
-- Suzanne Eberle, Web Training Coordinator, Software and Solutions Group, Intel, Oregon

"It occurred to me that I have been reading your stuff for weeks now and have never had the courtesy to thank you. I was raised better than that so consider this my thanks. I learn something every time. You do a great job of identifying what's interesting and needed and I appreciate that. Keep up the good work!"
-- Susan Freeman, President, Positive Perspectives, Merrimac, MA

"I get many of these e-mail newsletters every day -- and every day I receive yours and note that it is superior to the others that fill my e-mail in-box. I always scan through it because it is cogent, succinct, well-designed (I don't have to read an ad before I see the main items in THIS WEEK) and well edited. Thank you for the good work."
-- Jim Henley, Jim Henley Design, Minneapolis

"I'm an avid reader of Online Learning e-News. It is one of the best resources for me to keep up-to-speed with the issues that face e-learning developers. It really represents the developer's point of view. I appreciate the comments of the people on the front line, expressing their point of view. Marc Hequet does a great job of picking the issues that are most pressing to the e-learning community. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to keep in touch with what's going on out there. In fact, I just recommended it during a "State of the Industry" Webinar yesterday morning, when asked where to find the best resources on e-learning."
-- Bryan Chapman, E-learning Analyst, brandon-hall.com

"Just wanted to let you know that I enjoy reading Online Learning e-News. It's one of the better e-newsletters. I like your format of four or five short features including news or best practices. However, what I especially like is the "question of the day" where two or more people respond with their ideas or viewpoints, often to a question another reader has asked. Nice work and thanks."
-- Gerry Parent, Training Consultant, Capital One, Richmond, VA

"I'm continually amazed and grateful for the excellent newsletters you put together. Just wanted to say thanks!"
-- Lana Walker-Helmuth, Consultant, DesignPro, Temecula, CA

"Keep up the good work! I teach two classes on the Internet ... and I frequently get ideas I can use from your newsletter."
-- Dr. Robert L. Moore, Associate Professor, Psychology and Human Services

"I enjoy getting Online Learning e-News. The information is short, to the point and immediately applicable. Great stuff!"
-- Phyllis Van, Senior Consultant

"I realized today as I was reading the mercifully short articles, responses, and ideas that your newsletter has become a succinct source of online learning [information] for me. Your creative questions and probing of the future pull me out of the daily maze of HR work and help me imagine another way of being a change agent. Thanks again."
-- Michael B., Director of Human Resources

"Your newsletter is always right on target with where I am or am going with regards to my job as an instructional design manager. Thanks for your timely and pertinent points, investigation and queries."
-- Evelyn Eickmeyer-Quinones,Instructional Design Manager, Arrow Electronics

"Kudos to the designers and producers of Online Learning e-News for stellar presentation of content. My appreciation is specifically directed toward the publication's consistent format and navigation elements ... . These may seem obvious -- perhaps just second nature to you -- but they are not to others. Most people who gather and deliver content online fail to present it as well as you do. I've been in communications for more than two decades. When I notice a job well done, I want to acknowledge it. Nice work!"
-- Eric Dixon, Instructional Designer

"You and the team did a great job with this [week's] issue. The interviews that you provide are so much more interesting and readable than a collection of talking heads theorizing about [online learning]. I find from week to week that your subjects may have very different opinions, or may echo the same idea, but in either case, I can draw my own conclusions. Kind of like being able to do my own investigative reporting. This is the way the Internet ought to be used to bring news to niche audiences. Keep up the good work."
-- Doreen Kephart, CPS, Director of Recruiting, Professional Resource Associates

"I get a number of newsletters each week, and most of them I skim quickly. Yours, I typically read pretty much top to bottom. I always enjoy your newsletter and often discover new products and services by reading it. I also like the various tips people put together for solving online learning problems."
-- Craig Wiesner, WKMN Training

"Thank you for your weekly newsletter. I always find something of interest in each issue. It's easy to read and extremely helpful. Kudos to your news team."
-- Carol Birt, Training and Development Consultant, Boise Cascade Corp., Boise, ID

-- Ian McLean, Omega Investment Research (Pty) Ltd.

I find the questions and answers very pertinent and informative. ... The e-mail inspires and refreshes me by teaching me something new and letting me know that there are people out there struggling just like I am! Thanks for the great forum.

Every time I read the [e-newsletter] you send to me, I find HELPFUL and USEFUL information, not just information. My eyes are trained to skim, but they have to slow waaaaaay down when I get to your pages. Almost everything relates directly to my interests in instructional design. Thank you for your excellent work."
-- Jack Butler, Instructional Designer

The company I work for is currently making decisions about e-learning, so your reviews are very helpful to me right now. Thanks again."
-- Toby Bigney, CPIM, Senior Technical Writer-Avante, iSolutions-Epicor Software Corp.
