Are we talking about in house training of employees, training of customers or both. For example, Blackboard (<A HREF="http://www.blackboard.com/" REL="nofollow">http://www.blackboard.com/</A>) is fantastic for universities and inhouse elearning, whereas Helwpize (<A HREF="http://www.helpwize.com" REL="nofollow">http://www.helpwize.com</A>) is designed to teach "outsiders". Looking at both systems there is a clear difference of methodologies (i.e. it would be highly impractical for first time users to your site to have to request or make a Blackboard login just to find out how to do something on your site).<BR/><BR/>I propose that there are actually two schools of corporate elearning - the inhouse training platform and the online help docs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-89756383373098421382008-07-29T12:36:00.000-07:002008-07-29T12:36:00.000-07:00I'd like to throw Second Life into the mix (or my ...I'd like to throw Second Life into the mix (or my take on it anyway). It is becoming more mainstream and is yet another communication tool.<BR/><BR/>It is not just limited to being used directly. In my opinion, it has a significant learning curve as well as access needs that many corporations will not currently allow.<BR/><BR/>Second Life can be leveraged by eLearning providers to be an inexpensive tool for creating video and still images for use in training.<BR/><BR/>A simple example would be as video for scenario based training.<BR/><BR/>It will also be interesting to see Google's Lively gets into this. Semper is already doing job fairs with it (they were the first to do that in Second Life).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
