November has some extra special meaning for the MATRIX team. Each November, we look back to the previous 12 months, and then all the way back to the very first post published on the Business Blog, to reflect upon our progress in the e-learning blogging sphere. We’ve come a long way in the last five years!
While face-to-face interaction has been to its minimum in the last months, the pace of the blog did not slow down. We blog about e-learning, and the online environment is our perfect host. We actually made a little progress in this list, settling in the first 3% of all e-learning blogs.
Now let’s have a look at the best performing Business Blog posts from the previous year:

Without further ado, here are the top 10 blog posts on MATRIX from the previous 12 months:
