But what if you don’t have a learning management system or web site? You will find that creating an effective course is very different from creating for example a PowerPoint presentation, but it is not that difficult. Host the course. When you have created the course you must find a place on the web to place.

Another example is the Elearninglearning the site of Tony Karrer. This blog and the easygenerator blog are ‘republished’ or aggregated through that site. Instead of looking things up with google you plugin to the knowledge of somebody who is an acknowledged specialist in his field. Jay does this on workingsmarterdaily.com.

I have read the book from Michael Allen ( and Richard Sites) with a lot of interest and it is a book that I can recommend to read, it does explain the why and the how of the approach and it contains a lot of practical stuff like examples and check list that will help you get started.

Tony Karrer with his elearninglearning site is someone who does this for e-Learning. There is now software available that gathers information (based on RSS feeds), republishes it and stores it.The great thing about it that if you find an expert on a certain field that does this, you can tap in to his selection of content.

Intel is huge, 96000 people, 200 plus countries, 15 main sites, 10.000 managers. At Intel learning is a support organization (as always) resorting under HR so they have to work hard to connect to the business. What they did was to give each HR director of a business group a learning consultant.

I knew the phenomenon being a user of the sites of Jay Cross and Tony Karrer but up till now I wasn’t really aware of the strategic impact. It will be interesting to see how many leads will convert into customers and hopefully fans in the end. For me on a professional level the biggest take away is the curation of content.

I’m not sure if the source of the problem are the sites that contain this incorrect information or that Google screws up. I don’t have any idea who these people are and why they mixed them up with me. This is just an illustration that shows that search results are not that reliable as we assume.

This series is sparked by the book ‘Leaving ADDIE for SAM’ by Michael Allen and Richard Sites. This is a first post in a series of post on Agile eLearning development.

I also use aggregation sites, they will select information for you and inform you on a daily or weekly basis on interesting posts. Zite will show you information based on keywords you give in. It also has a magazine like interface and the advantage is that you will get information from outside your standard network.
