The present world's economic woes are opening up new opportunities for innovative forms of education and training such as informal learning, e-learning and blended learning. Faced with shrinking budgets, the use of learning technologies is becoming increasingly attractive for businesses.

We have just launched schooX. In shooX members can publish and attend eCourses, learn online and socially, improve their skills, manage their knowledge, organize web meetings in virtual classes, take and share notes, participate in groups and place questions. Each member has its Knowledge Box which is a central point of knowledge collection where it can store books, papers, links, files and videos. By sharing the Knowledge Box it becomes part of a collaborative Knowledge Management Tool.
schooX has a very nice UI and has a a lot of features which make online and collaborative learning very attractive. Over 500 Courses with Creative Common License from several Universities are already offered for free. In the next two months schooX will host over 2000 free Courses in a very broad range of categories. It is still in Beta Version as a lot of improvements regarding course uploading and skills management are made and a lot of new features are prepared. By the end of the year a lot of new features will make the site unique in its field for everyone who want to learn online and share its knowledge with others.
