Friday, May 04, 2007 Rapid e-Learning, Templates, & SMEs Theres been a lot of good talk lately about rapid e-learning tools and templates and the roles of SMEs vs. instructional designers. One of our main products is creating customized templates for our clients; "empowering non-programmers to build e-learning."

The focus here the last few months has been less on creating custom courses for clients and more on building Templates and Learning Portals (think LMS-lite). So, what do I do if Im not doing that? What should their Templates be able to do? Im not such an anal person, so this isnt my favorite thing in the world.
