The snake oil is us

Had to point to this great post over on Learning Circuits: "We are the Problem: We are selling Snake Oil":http://www.internettime.com/lcmt/archives/001014.html. To quote briefly:

We now have ample data to show that:
-- Training does not work.
-- eLearning does not work.
-- Blending Learning does not work.
-- Knowledge Management does not work.

Although it will seem uncharacteristic, I'm not sure how I feel about the piece. Some of it must certainly be true... the question is, how much?
