  • Careful what you name your LMS
    I was just brainstorming with a friend from our Corp. Communications on a name for our LMS. I've been looking into this for a bit, but it slipped my mind and now I need to come up with something.So we threw around the words "university", "college", "academy", "elearning", "online", "intranet". Finally we came up with Southlake Online Learning. Sounds plain. Sounds simple. SOL is catchy. It's "brightening our Stars for tomorrow.Oh ya, in case you missed it the acronym is S. O. L. If you don't know what else that stands for....give me an email.Back I go to brainstorming.

  • An Online Learning Facilitator
    Yesterday I wrote about being a Learning Facilitator - not getting in the way, but connection people to other people to learn - On or offline.  Then I stumbled upon TEACHSTREET.com.  They help anyone find courses on anything.  Photography in Portland, OR?  Done.  There were a number of courses for all levels. This is about connecting those who want knowledge with those who have it. Gather, control, teach and require has turned into aggregate, open, facilitate and house. What can this teach us about what we might do in our organizations?
