Interesting case, another one of having to train a lot (250.000) people who are not working in your organisation and where you have no control over. They went for small learning nuggets on an ‘ ordinary’ website optimized for tablets. Most striking for me, they dropped the mandatory registration and log in.

The first keynote of the conference by Arianna Huffington. No success stories about the Huffington post, but a presentation on Well-being, Wisdom and Wonder. Arianna had a burnout caused by sleep-deprivation and non-stop working. This made her wonder if this was the way she wanted to live her life and the answer is no.

It makes it possible to create an e-Learning course in any authoring environment and run it in any SCORM compliant LMS and report your learners results to that LMS. And there is a second but: reporting. That depends on the reports the LMS is offering. Some LMS have very complete reports or allow you to create your own.
