    Erika,

    Thanks for the link to Art Scheck's piece.

    I work for the training section of a region of a major U.S. government agency. I forwarded the link to all of our folks who work with traditional classroom training and video tele-training. And some of them are forwarding the link to more people.

    I'd guess our average age is approaching 40. We can use this kind of insight.
