E-Learning From (Yet Another) New Angle

10 March, 2009 - As many learning and training administrators can attest, content is the oft-neglected piece of an organization's learning strategy, with application functionality taking precedence over the content being delivered. Many organizations purchase a Learning Management System (LMS), work through the implementation, and then just before go-live, realize they need to address and incorporate online content. Typically, organizations recognize that they may not know where all their content resides. Each department may have content in department-specific locations, possibly on departmental servers, with no centrally managed catalog of an organization's total courseware. Coupled with this decentralized storage approach, there is little control over the types or quality of content available for an organization's end users.
