PepsiCo UK Launches e-Learning in Key IT Skills
May 21, 2004
So I guess yesterday (Thursday) was 'Learning at Work Day' and so it is a natural that my website and email systems were down due to the most recent 'upgrade'. But it does let me finish the week with a double issue (and give the Daily readers some sense of how the Weekly readers feel on Fridays) and it lets me talk a little about this initiative. Using Thomson's Open Learning Solution, Pepsico will "provide employees throughout the UK with flexible e-Learning in desktop IT skills, including the European Computer Driving License (ECDL)." Now I have nothing against such a program, but I do have a big problem with the private appropriation of such common terms of "open learning" and "driving license" by a company to refer to products very different from what those terms connote.
