Not having a search capability to allow access to 'mini chunks' of knowledge minimizes the speed at which people with little time can learn something new. I think this is why google, wiki, etc are supplanting the LMS as a source for knowledge and information (and why adoption rates internally are so low!)Shannon Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436643532574856328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-1153914276065846282006-07-26T04:44:00.000-07:002006-07-26T04:44:00.000-07:00The fixation with LMSs never ceases to amaze me.

On the face of it they wanted help in defining a new e-learning strategy. Get into the detail and what they really want is someone to recommend a new LMS.Clive Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02798059102416534284noreply@blogger.com
