Elearning as a KM Application
It was a long, painful transit strike. But it's over, at least for now, and I'm back on the train. And none too soon. My reading has really stacked up. Paying for parking in downtown L.A. was getting old, too. Then there was the traffic. But I digress.
My first day back I perused "KM and Elearning: A Powerful Combination", from Econtent (Oct. 2003). I was struck with how little I've heard elearning, or training of any kind, mentioned in the same sentence as KM. Yet the transfer of knowledge in professional training programs could be significant.
Though in some law firms the main purpose of organizing, broadcasting and/or taping these programs is to provide an easy way for attorneys to meet their MCLE requirements, a side benefit, and it's a big one, is the capturing of knowledge of the presenters/instructors. Creating an elearning or any professional learning environment furthers both goals.
It's just another indication of the cross-departmental nature of KM.
