I'd be curious to know if many other providers are already doing this, and if it does actually increase learning and retention. I have a call in to find out more behind the decision to go this route, and will let you know what I find out. Or maybe my co-blogger, Anne Taylor-Vaisey, can dig up a study or two about it. I remember reading something somewhere, but can't put my finger on it.
