#300: The Right Tool For The Right Job
Don't become a tool zealot. It will limit your career growth and ensure unemployment. The industry is
rapidly changing and so are the tools used to develop e-Learning. Always maintain a "learning" mind and
let your customer's needs determine your tool usage. No one tool does it all.

#302: All "e's" Are Pesky, But Some "e's" Are Peskier Than Others
Make sure your LMS is capable of determining the learner's technical environment and proceed
accordingly. For example, the available bandwidth between the learner workstation and the
LMS, installed necessary plug-ins, etc. The "e" in e-Learning is a very pesky creature that can
nullify any amount of good content design and authoring.

#303: More = Less Access
The more interactive a page, the more technology you use, the more likely someone,
somewhere, will not be able to access it.
