Now if you were observant, you may have noticed two kinds of people this period: People  who complained about online learning : For this ones, they probably thrive in the classroom or enjoy face to face learning. So adapting to virtual classrooms isn't the easiest for them. People who were sharing multiple certificates - sometimes up to 3, 4, 5 e-learning certificates. On LinkedIn, I saw someone upload 12 certificates and I was wondering how he did it. Not because I think it's such a rare feat. No. I was wondering, did he actually learn?
