Knowledge, Learning, Community
The most important part of this article - which convincingly touts and describes email as a learning tool - is the commentary in the teaser. The author writes, "I see our leaders rapidly losing the hearts and minds of learners, trainers, and designers. Strategists are converging toward learning objects, metatags, and comprehensive and costly platforms." I think the author is exactly right in this observation - that is why I have been (to the chagrin of some vendors) railing against "big ugly LCMSs" in recent presentations. Learning objects are full of promise, but will price themselves out of existence if we have to purchase a $300,000 LCMS to make any use of them. OK, end of rant. Think simple. Read this article and think about how the author's strategies - which are really very good - compare to what the "leaders" are doing.
