There is both good and bad news when engaging with e-learning. The good news is e-learning enables us to deliver both learning and information at will, dynamically and immediately. The bad news is many organizations simply fail to embrace e-learning. Infozone partner Adobe is offering a white paper exploring the importance of engagement when it comes to success in e-learning. The CLO-Blog, written by the editors of Chief Learning Ofﬁcer magazine, features insightful commentary about topics such as social networking tools, learning management systems and generational differences. A post from August, titled “The Learning Function and Its LMS: No Love Lost?” asked readers about their relationships with LMSs. CLOmedia.com member Annie Jekova responded: “As with any other system, professionals will always ﬁnd areas in which their LMS lacks functionality,” she said. “It is unfortunate, but it does resemble a marriage. LMS managers and analysts should focus on the abilities of their LMS and use them as much as they can instead of complaining and asking for more. Oftentimes they just have not discovered what their LMS can do or do not know how to use the existing functionality.” READER COMMENTS In response to a recent CLO-Blog entry asking readers where learning and design thinking intersect, CLOmedia.com member Lyndsey Breslow responded: “My question is actually why people feel these two types of thinking need to be separated. Imagine how much work would get done and a positive learning environment fostered if the people who come up with the ideas and the ones who provide solutions for those ideas were together. This could eliminate hours of arguing and debating after the fact by having everyone on the ground ﬂoor seeing the vision and providing their input.” Post your response at www.clomedia.com/clo-blog/2008/August/2329/index.php. 10 Chief Learning Ofﬁcer • October 2008 • www.clomedia.com http://www.clomedia.com http://www.clomedia.com/podcast http://www.clomedia.com/clo-blog/2008/August/2336/index.php http://www.clomedia.com/on-the-web http://www.clomedia.com/clo-blog http://www.CLOmedia.com http://www.clomedia.com/subscribe http://infozone.clomedia.com http://www.CLOmedia.com http://www.clomedia.com/clo-blog/2008/August/2329/index.php http://www.clomedia.com
