eLearning Slam: The power of online learning that most people miss
"The point I'd really like to drill into the learning community's mind is that
presential (face-to-face) training achieves limited knowledge retention.
I believe the typical measure is that 20-30% of the material presented
is remembered... the power of eLearning is that if done like web
content, the students can come back to it over and over. This raises
the efficiency from 20-30% up to 70-80%..."
A good read and a good argument.

"In 2008, European companies are expected to spend over 1 billion Euro on developing and procuring e-learning content. This investment will be fundamental part of workforce training across the continent - but there's a problem: most of this investment will be 'locked down' on Learning Management Systems (LMSs). The training is 'locked down' because users cannot share the training with others."
SCORM is a guideline for making training information modular and reusable. This article suggests we need to expand the SCORM model to include data access or API so the data is not locked into the Learning Management Systems.

“What you see is what you get” has been the software mantra ever since WordStar was the dominant word processing package. But with screen-recording software, it’s more a case of “what you saw is what you get” — and that’s far less satisfactory. If you make a minor mistake, you have to recapture the affected part of the sequence. Captivate solves that problem by capturing system events, so you can go back and adjust the path or completely delete a fudged step, making it easy to create a clean demonstration.
