This is pretty interesting. CoursePark is a social learning environment that supports an online course marketplace and in-house or enterprise learning. It's what the personal learning environment would look like if it were marketed to the enterprise instead of to the consumer marketplace. There are packages for employee training and client training. Here's the website. Course selection is a lot like Netflix or iTunes, with genres, featured, new arrivals and popular coiurses highlighted. The courses themselves are simple page-turners with animations and quizzes built in that launch through a series of popups. I counted more than 1600 courses or course bundles available onsite. There are still some glitches - the popups wouldn't open at all in Chrome, even with adblockers disabled. And the system refused me permission to view the introductory 'CoursePark - Using the CourseMarket' course.
