This eliminates that issue. One vendor says people can work on the course remotely – in real time, rather then Susan working on it in Tel Aviv and Joe who is in Phoenix having to wait until she signs off, so he can begin working on it.

An alarming rate of “get the content up now, ASAP&# regardless of what it looks like, instructional design is typically tossed out the window, especially when the ID, CD or whomever is tasked to create is handed a stream of documents in Word or PPT or some other form.
