Self-paced learning is not for everyone.  About 1/4 of the learners will self-motivate to get it done.  Then the others must be prodded.  People like to be with people, they learn from each other.  For us the amount seems to be 30% online and 70% with a facilitator confirming the knowledge that has been learned and putting to good examples and discussion.

User adoption is quite often the biggest barrier. If it's important, the organziation will find the time and money to implement technology. The hardest thing is to get people to learn and use the technology and incorporate it as part of "business as usual" operations.

It is funny but I voted "no time". I believe it is due to lack of resources, when you are understaffed, it becomes hard to play with new technologies or start new POC for exploring the potential benefits of the change.

Company culture plays a very important role in this. We are very successful in making innovation as our DNA, incubating small ideas to prove business value , if successful make it big else kill it.

None of the above. For classrooms, it's actually normally access to the rooms while class is in schedule. 

Biggest barrier otherwise at this point is that people's plates are already full between the operational and strategic agenda that's currently in place. Unless we change strategic priority to put this near the top, governance remains among the biggest barriers.
