This item is making the rounds of educational bloggers, if only for this line: "Bob is Director, Learning and Strategy Evangelism, for Microsoft Learning. He told us, 'In the hour that I'm with you, two Microsoft training centers will go under.'" Now I notice that this line is no longer on Jay Cross's blog post, but it's too late, it's out there, most recently in today's elearningpost. And Maish didn't get it wrong - and I saw the quote on Cross's blog personally the other day. My conclusion: Bob Mosher probably said it, but then wished he hadn't, because it probably isn't true (because, if you think about it, that would mean 48 training centers going under in a day, 1440 in a month), and Jay was probably nice enough to erase it. Tsk tsk. All of which obscures the main message, which is: "He told us the learner population has changed; they are no longer newbies; they don’t want courses."
