What else I can get you to go with that?

It is amazing in the elearning arena people are so willing to share. I emailed a university web designer I had met for about 2 minutes at a conference in October to ask for some materials to help with a staff development I am building. She responded in about 2 hours with enough materials to build three courses and a statement to use as much as I wanted. WOW! This seems new to education for me. I remember, back in the day, when no one would even leave their typed notes at the lithograph machine because "Why should someone else get my hard work." Now it is, "here ya go" and "what else can I get you?"! Seems like education is learning from what the service industry figured out awhile back, help each other - help the customer - grow the program. E learning has brought about an exciting new era when we can focus on "what is the next great thing in education?"
