I know in the past I have spent a lot of time blowing hot air about working from an Internet cloud and leaving your desktop apps behind on earth. Lets say you could do the following: 1. Create rich interactive learning objects using a pure (and secure) web service (not downloading heavy software that needs upgrades or is tied to one computer) 2. Allow your Global team or 3rd parties to make edits wherever they are to the learning objects. 3. Post them to an LMS or LCMS on the web or even add them to a virtual classroom for your audience to view them anywhere, anytime, without plugins, or being linked to a computer that has that particular plugin, etc. How would that feel? I love the idea of not being joined at the hip to a machine and using whatever device I want to create learning and take learning. Whether using a mobile device like my phone or iTouch, using a PC or MAC, Netbook 24/7. Imagine the focus of the Training Group was Instructional Design and producing outstanding content with Technology being secondary. You could create rich content objects appropriately tagged that could seamlessly work on a mobile phone, plug into a Virtual World, be downloaded to an iPod, sit on a website or Video Platform, integrate quickly and easily into LMS or Virtual Classroom, be accessed via a social network, etc. Internet access is all you need. In between major system upgrades, adding software patches and downloading test applications I hope to spend some time thinking about how to address this. Now where did I leave those 6 discs that came with that new Rapid e-learning development Tool?
