ENDNOTE - How Do You eLearn?

Elliott Masie says that he: 1) browses and samples - the digital form of auditing; 2) triple and quadruple tasks and loves to learn in this style; 3) talks to his screen when he learns; 4) competes with module time - if it should take 30 min. he'll try to do it in less; 5) copies, pastes and sends - to himself and colleagues.
These are neither positive or negative behaviors, he says. Just ones he's noticed in his eLearner mode. What are your eLearning behaviors? eMail Elliott at: emasie@masie.com (TechLearn Trends #222, Oct 01)
