As demand for eLearning grows and the technology landscape continue to shift, corporations are quickly finding the limitations of desktop-based authoring. Simply put, funneling all content to the author is inefficient at best and at its worst, puts all of your learning assets at risk (where is the last back up tape of your author's c:\MyCourses directory?).
Course Avenue was first recognized in 2003 as an Innovation Leader in eLearning development enabling collaborative web-based authoring. As companies struggle trying to use PowerPoint or other desktop tools as the sole technology to author courseware across the enterprise, the benefits of the CourseAvenue Community and "anytime, anywhere development" are moving from handy to required.
The Power of Teams
How can CourseAvenue be used to organize a team of people from across your enterprise to build, deploy, and manage eLearning? As the following diagram illustrates, each team member may be in a different part of the globe and yet efficiently lend their talent to the overall effort.
Collaboration
How does your organization collaborate today? eMail? Inside the CourseAvenue Community, team members subscribe to a thread and are instantly in touch with your entire enterprise.
Building an entire course in Flash is too time consuming, and often there are not enough resources available to do it. Why handcraft the entire course when only a portion of the course is really interactive?
On the other extreme, having to force all eLearning into a PowerPoint presentation format is just silly. While great for presentations, how does this process scale across an enterprise? Do you really want all of your corporate learning assets stuck in someone's "MyCourses" directory or in random "InBoxes" across the company? How can you have an instructional designer, subject matter expertise, assessments, audio tracks, images, and other media/learning interactions all come together, be approved by a team of people and ready run on you LMS? Oh yea - and available in Spanish…and maybe Chinese? PowerPoint? Good luck.
Outsource it? Considering the courseware is all based on our companies policies, procedures, systems, etc and we have to assemble it anyway - what exactly are we outsourcing anyway?
