During that time I have experienced MAJOR success with re-use and single-sourcing ROI and I have experienced MAJOR failure. The determining factor seems to me to be associated with Instructional Design discipline. When content is created (whether using Rapid ID tools such as Articulate, More time consuming Flash, or just basic using the embedded authoring tools) success follows developing defined objectives. My experience has convinced me that the ROI of an LCMS does not occur on the initial development of instruction -- but when design plans for re-use and/or single sourcing the ROI for updates (time and effort) is phenomenal. When there is no design discipline and no strategy there is very little if any payback.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-1331873152368407442012-01-11T05:28:30.870-08:002012-01-11T05:28:30.870-08:00Microsoft Sharepoint sites are easy to maintained ...Microsoft Sharepoint sites are easy to maintained and can be modified easily that's why organizations uses Sharepoint rather than ECM.

This blog post raises some key questions as to how organizations are using LCMS technology to manage course assets.<br /><br />To your reader’s inquiry I posit the following. It would appear that the octopus you’re attempting to tame most likely goes beyond content itself. It’s an easy time-suck to develop an “ultimate pigeon whole” mentality.<br /><br />“My organization is chock full of great content and ideas. If only there was a perfect management system so we could store and retrieve it all before they retire…”<br /><br />Many of the resources you speak to (SharePoint, LCMS, LMS) are really components to the larger, overarching strategy of Knowledge Management (as per Brian Chapman) which like Content Management can mean different things to different people. <br /><br />As learning professionals we should recognize the development paradigm has shifted slightly to incorporate not only what might previously have been dismissed as skill of the craft, but also content once viewed as outside the required scope.<br /><br />Old Style New Style!<br />Design Design<br />Develop Remix<br />Deliver Reuse<br />Evaluate Share<br />Repeat Connect<br /><br />Yes, you still need to organize the mayhem. But trying to cram everything into a compliance-style box is counterproductive. Metatagging may even make such (SCORM) practices obsolete. The same applies to types of content. It will be necessary to embrace multiple formats and provide multiple output types. Your management tools should not dictate your content development strategy. Assembling a personalized “suite” of tools which communicate well with each other will support an organization’s Knowledge Management needs while addressing management of content. Content Management is really just a piece of the greater machinery so should be as flexible and agnostic as possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-75242540411324207662011-01-27T23:07:00.701-08:002011-01-27T23:07:00.701-08:00And that the other countries use for.

I would love to hear about folks that do though to see what/why they were successful – as I know tech is probably only part of the problem.Paul Schneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869593243378987680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-30979791049767924692011-01-26T08:47:17.567-08:002011-01-26T08:47:17.567-08:00Damon - completely agree about scale vs. flexibili...Damon - completely agree about scale vs. flexibility.
