Mustafa Raihanul Alam, head of Talent Acquisition and Development, shared how e-learning is successfully being used in the corporate arena for many years in Bangladesh.

He emphasised that apart from ensuring the quality of content, making e-learning programmes successful depends much on how the programme is implemented with appropriate means of motivation for the learners.
