9 Ways E-learning is a Better Option for Food Safety Training
by John Poulos, Co-Founder and Vice President of Sales, DiscoverLink                         
                                   
Food safety is a hot topic in the news lately, and many restaurants are looking for ways to quickly shore up their food safety training programs.  E-learning is an ideal solution for managing food safety training programs, and it has many advantages over both traditional classroom training and on-the-job training.  Let’s take a look at some of the top ways that e-learning is more effective for food safety training.

CHART Talks: "Brief Blasts of Brilliance" #25 - Micro-Learning and the Incredible Shrinking Attention Span

During my CHART Talks session in New Orleans, I shared the benefits of micro-learning and provided some tips and resources to help you reach your audience. Take a look at my video, I hope it holds your attention!.
