Electronic Performance Support System
Georgia Tech,

So anyhow, someone wrote to me referencing the 'Confessions of an E-Learner' article and asked, what ever happened to EPSS. 'EPSS' stands for 'Electronic Performance Support System' and, yeah, it's a good question. So I toodled onto Google and picked up this reference (Google says it's June 2; the page itself is undated but I would bet ddollars to donuts it's a lot older). It turns out that EPSS has turned into a variant of wearable computing (which, when you think of it, makes sense). So what I think has happened is that EPSS has not disappeared, but rather, it has simply moved out of the online learning radar screen. I suppose if you were working on a production line and needed to access a design algorithm, a display that gave you the course objectives for a 40 hour course wouldn't be especially useful... heh.
