Learning Objects: the Smarter Way

Some early adopter organizations have leveraged “learning object” technologies such as an LCMS (learning content management system), CMS (content management system), and even proprietary systems to optimize their enterprise learning model, evolving from a desktop publishing to an enterprise-wide publishing model.

We’ve seen some great successes in this area, but also some dismal failures. What’s the difference between the success stories and the failures? What role does the technology play in creating the problems?

In some ways the technology has outpaced our ability to use it wisely. The biggest problem is developing a learning object plan that will not relegate the responsibility of managing reusable learning content to the technology, but rather make “learning objects” a real part of the process and the culture.

Brandon Hall Research has developed reusable learning object strategies for some of the highest profile innovators in the area of enterprise learning. We’d like to help you in this capacity as well.
