E-learning Payoff is Performance Good overview of the role a learning content management system (LCMS) plays in a learning organization. The best insight of the article: "The content must be viewed as a continuous stream that is constantly getting updated to adapt to the needs of business, rather than a static 'course' that delivers a bunch of information out of context.

Shop Talk: Wireless with that Latte, Sir? Today's new net jargon is Wi-Fi, which is the common name for the 802.11b wireless standard.
