	<description>This blog exists so trainers, coaches and other learning and development professionals can share their thoughts, experiences and knowledge with others. It’s also a platform to show a little bit about who each of us are, what we add to the community, what value we bring to the table.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some more thinking on the place of learning management systems within a corporate learning ecosystem.
The slides below start from the point of view of the learner, and their motivations for learning. We must understand what will drive learners to our learning materials, courses, reference materials etc before we can begin to design systems and content.

To get the full return on investment, content should be placed somewhere that search engines (whether internal or external) can find and index it. (BTW. That probably means we need to [...]]]></description>

You have a blank canvas, no limitations, it&#8217;s your company.. How would you ensure knowledge and best practice was shared amongst colleagues? And how would you bring new and existing staff up to speed in the shortest time possible?

		<description><![CDATA[The LMS (or Learning Management System) has been around for a while now. They are usually deployed into large organisations who need to be able to deploy lots of learning materials to lots of people, whilst controlling access, and recording use.

		<description><![CDATA[I was shown Jambok recently by the guys at Fusion-Universal. Jambok is a system very similar to Wisetail&#8217;s Learning Ecosystem, in that it handles media in a social way, and is designed to offer corporate clients the chance to build an internal social media platform.

Make it the only way they can get things to happen. Eg. claiming expenses
Make sure it fits in with other systems they already use. Eg. email, SMS

My answer is an emphatic &#8220;No!&#8221; &#8211; at least it shouldn&#8217;t have.
The problem is, we (the corporate elearning fraternity) have got so used to our &#8220;click next to continue&#8221; paradigm, that [...]]]></description>
