| For some it will be critical to repeat as Bob did, "baby steps, baby steps, baby steps," before venturing into this massive World of Open Learning. Without a doubt, there may be some real as well as imagined aches and pains along the way. The open learning results, as well as the emotional gains from new colleagues and worlds, however, are often worth the mental effort. Where will you step? And what will you open once you enter this gargantuan World of learning? So much hope exists there for you. You can open careers. Create new worlds. Share what you know about your existing world. Whatever you choose to do, enjoy it! Most learning is effortful and, at times, painful. The World Is Open is the best of the e-Learning books. Unfortunately, this concern is arising at a time when the skills and competencies needed to be successful in the working world of adults are rising. |
