Elite Continuing Education University		 I heartily agree with the spirit and letter of the Serious eLearning Manifesto.

 I endorse this Manifesto and agree with the 22 Principles listed.
Marsi Miller
Paradyme Management		 Yes, I endorse the manifesto! Bravo to the instigators. A few thoughts, none of which obviate my endorsement: – The word "manifest" makes me queasy. Hints of dogma. – Substantively, re. principle 21: it strikes me that the work of psychologist Robert Bjork and colleagues is relevant here. Particularly their finding that making mistakes when the stakes are low, then self-correcting, helps people learn (if I’m interpreting the research correctly). If true, perhaps that would mean that principle 21 would be more than an option, it’s necessary. We know that organizations go on and on about failure being a good thing. In my experience, they don’t mean it. That’s why if the research shows low risk failure is a good thing, it might help make this principle palatable to executives.
James D. Ehinger
Cornerstone Information Systems		 I applaud the creators of this Manifesto and will be applying its principles to our training and course development.
Yongcheng Gan

Humana		 Yes, I endorse and fully back this Manifesto!
Kevin Mehnert
 I subscribe to and embrace the challenge of realizing the values and characteristics of serious eLearning.
Amy Bowser-Rollins
Litigation Support Guru		 I will absolutely endorse and promote this manifesto. I work in an industry (legal) that is slow to change in terms of embracing technology. Add to that the negative perceptions about eLearning training in general and I have my work cut out for me. I love that you guys have come together to try and turn eLearning on its head. I feel lucky that I am both the SME and the eLearning designer.
