We posted the Parkin’s lot LMS screed on our corporate blog because I think the author makes some vaild points.

At the same time folks in the academic world have to give the devil his due and make some room for the acknowledgement that a corporation’s staff training needs are not the same as a school’s.

Putting legal and compliance training online via an LMS for example allows companies to deliver, track and, most importantly, REPORT on various types of regulator-required training, including:

Health and safety practices
Sexual harrassment guidelines
Cultural and diversity sensitivity programs
Data privacy policies and procedures
Risk disclosure requirements
Anti-money laundering, know-your-client and fraud prevention activities
And many more . . .

For a successful online compliance initiative a company needs a compliance management framework to deliver, track and report on everything. Heterogeneous collaboration toolsets and intranet-delivered content portals, by themselves, cannot handle the regulatory requirements in regard to reporting and audit trails.

Compliance needs are a major driver for corporate LMS acquisition.

Zwei schöne Beiträge, die sich mit dem im E-Learning immer noch vorherrschenden Paradigma einer Präsenzveranstaltung, eines Frontalunterrichts (classroom learning) beschäftigen…

Who knows, am now though! It's almost like thre's a case for government development of online learning solutions - come to think of it no-one would ever buy or hav ethere classrooms regulated by a private company, would they?

Here is what <a hreff="http://e-learning-engagement.blogspot.com/2004/11/deviance-or-innovation-language-of.html">Scot Aldred</a> has to say about LMS and other enterprise technologies stifling innovation: "Now we are finding out to our expense and horror that enterprise approaches to programming applications are fraught with risks and dangers. To give a couple of examples, if an enterprise LMS has just one part of its infrastructure or programming fail, the whole learning environment can cease to work." Remember that software vendors are only interested in one thing - selling software licenses. They don't give a @#$% about learning. Been there, done that. Similar thoughts from a fellow Australian?
