- "Company, personal, and government sites, as well as information clearinghouses such as Wikipedia, all provide content and resources that provide a good starting point. As with any online source, you’ll need to scan with a critical eye to differentiate between fact and fiction."
- "Some may be asking how websites are different from element 10 (Google) or why it isn’t just named the internet. Element 48 (website) is often used by people who aren’t necessarily searching the entire internet for more information, but rather have a general (or even a specific) direction in which they need to go. For example, some jobs require heavy scanning of specific government websites to research local ordinances, find key points of contact within certain departments, or download forms that need to be submitted during a project."
- "No matter how self-motivated your participants are, ultimately it is their supervisor who can hold them accountable, encourage them to follow through on their goals, or (in the absence of goals) can encourage them to focus their attention elsewhere. For a training program to be effective, you’ll want to find ways to avoid that last scenario. Identifying potential strategies by which you can help supervisors set goals with their direct reports as well as make them aware of the goals participants craft for themselves can make the difference between an interesting training program and an effective training program."
