Richard Cross Senscia	The world is constantly in search of panaceas, easy solutions to the myriad of complex problems we are presented with. Given that complexity is not going to disappear any time soon, as responsible providers of learning solutions, we should be committed to the avoidance of the risk of offering well-intentioned but wasteful panaceas. This is why the Serious eLearning Manifesto matters. It outlines for us some of the basic shortcuts, lazy practices, or over-promising approaches that masquerade as quality learning experiences. Buyers and providers alike will do well to read the manifesto, understand what it is saying and take it into account. At Senscia, we stand by the manifesto and commit to delivering it in everything we do for our clients and colleagues.

Matthew Cinelli Le Savoir Faire Learning	When everyone sees that workplace learning makes a direct contribution to the bottom line, our efforts will be taken seriously.
John Low Fors Marsh Group	Technology has the potential to support learning and development like never before in history, but it isn’t an end in itself. The eLearning Manifesto calls out principles that underlie the process of learning, not just “e”. When incorporated into performance design and thoughtfully combined with supporting technologies, the promise and power of eLearning can be realized.
Gary DePaul Gary DePaul Leadership Consulting	As of March 2019, I’m aware of one Fortune 50 company that has regressed in how they leverage eLearning.

Junfei He JKxuetang	The Manifesto We believe that learning technology offers the possibility for creating uniquely valuable learning experiences. We also believe, with a sense of sadness and profound frustration, that most elearning fails to live up to its promise. We further believe that current trends evoke a future of only negligible improvement in elearning design—unless something radical is done to bend the curve. Finally, we have concluded that in order to elevate elearning to the height of its promise, we need to begin with a personal commitment to a new set of standards. Through continuous assessment of learner performance, the elearning experience can optimize use of the learner’s time, individualize the experience for full engagement, address needs, optimize practice, and prepare for transfer of learning to performance proficiency. Through our work in developing elearning experiences and helping others do the same, we believe that we need to go beyond typical elearning to the values and characteristics of Serious eLearning:

Lerissa Patrick The UPS Store, Inc.	We’ve all been distracted by the entertainment value of e-learning, and we’ve left the learners in the dust as a result. If we aren’t focused on the learner experience, how can we call ourselves instructional designers?

I fully endorse the concepts and philosophies of the Serious eLearning Manifesto.

Anderson Stuart Cubillos
Procalidad SA

Considero que el manifiesto correspondiente es el mas adecuado ya que se encargan de romper los esquemas de alguna forma en cuanto el aprendizaje lo mas valioso que puedo destacar es el hecho de que se encargan de ir a la practica directamente sin necesidad de que el alumno tenga que finalizar su formación para que dicha forma sus conocimientos sean totalmente fortalecidos de principio a fin. Considero que de igual forma lo que quieren es hacer personas mas auto suficientes con ciertas bases para que puedan alcanzar el éxito.
