I'm a fan of employee-generated learning (aka 'working openly'). Of course there will be no end to the concerns that actual employees might not produce very good content. That's what consultants are for! But still, there are ways they can improve their content, and they're far more likely than university professors to actually try to improve their teaching methods (this isn't just me being snarky, that's what the data says). Interestingly the first method suggested is to give credit (or blame) where it's due: "Make sure the name of the author is clearly visible in the course." Also, think of publishing it someplace other than your (closed) corporate LMS, because feedback is essential, and the closed corporate LMS is, well, closed (that's why I look at things like Fastpages, even if they're not yet easy).
