New learning management article available

We've recently posted an article called 'Inside Learning Management' to the documents area of the site. We've found over the years that it can be pretty confusing when you're first considering getting into e-learning and learning management, so we put together this article to try to demystify some of the product types and tools out there. We've included an outline of the planning process for installing a learning management system. Check out the article and see if it can be of help to you.

We've also created a worksheet to help you figure out what you need from your new tool - if you'd like a copy of it, drop us a line and we'll send it on over.

Do you know what the top eLearning sites are?

I was catching up on my subscription blog reading today and came across an interesting blog post on one of my favorite learning blogs, the eLearning Technology blog by Tony Karrer .  He wrote a recent article that answered a question he had been asked..."What were the biggest traffic sites in eLearning that were not vendor specific".  After some research he came up with what he believes are the top five sites.   Check out his blog article on Thursday, May 20, 2010 called Top eLearning Sites?: eLearning Technology. You might be surprised at the results.

New Case Study: Software company’s management turnover reduced with new manager orientation program and assessment

New employee orientation programs are an essential part of any hiring process. A well planned and effectively administered new employee orientation program results in lower employee turnover, increased productivity and improved work quality. This translates into happier employees and a healthier bottom line.

We've just added a case study to our site that describes how a North American social networking software company adopted a new manager orientation program that improved employee morale and reduced their management turnover rate and associated costs. The orientation program and assessment tools we created for the client provided a solid foundation for employee success and improved the company’s bottom line. Read all about it here.

Organizations of all sizes can benefit from a new-employee orientation program - contact us to learn more.

New mobile library launched!

We've excited to announce that we've just launched a series of mobile content modules. It's called the "Instant Sales Skills Mobile Library", and it was developed to help busy on-the-go sales people expand their skills or refresh their knowledge on key topics wherever they are and whenever they want. We think this is the type of content that's ideal for distribution using smartphones - bite-sized chunks that are easily absorbed and turn a few minutes of down time into productive time. The library is currently designed to run on BlackBerry devices using the Chalk Pushcast Software platform, and we hope to launch it soon for other devices and platforms. Check the topics out and see what you think!
