Be objective, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language, even in criticism, to work toward the goal of positive progress. Submit your responses in the Discussion Area.

Tasks:
Choose one of the following questions.

Question 1:
What are the implications of the 70-20-10 model for choosing a training method? Why do you suppose organizations invest very little time and effort to gain a higher return from the 70%, a token effort on the 20%, and concentrate considerable resources on the 10%? Then, what is your opinion of the breakdown of these three numbers and why?

Question 2:
Your supervisor wants you to consider using Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). What items do you look at to determine if your operation should use them?
