eLearning Slam: The power of online learning that most people miss

"The point I'd really like to drill into the learning community's mind is that
presential (face-to-face) training achieves limited knowledge retention.
I believe the typical measure is that 20-30% of the material presented
is remembered... the power of eLearning is that if done like web
