Can IT vendors make the world a better place?

A great article about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for IT companies, drom IT Business magazine - Can IT vendors make the world a better place?

From the article:

While the need to demonstrate corporate social responsibility cuts across the business community, several issues pertain specifically to the IT industry around environmental stewardship, labour practices and the digital divide... the business case for taking part in such activies include reputation management, customer loyalty, licence to operate and employee retention.

E-learning is also a great way to bridge the digital divide and increase employee retention.

In the Middle of the Curve: So what do we do now?

Great post by Wendy at Towson University about the practical difficulties getting one's mind around the concept of Learning 2.0 and how to practically implement the collaborative concepts in this new Web 2.0 mindset.

Makes me wish I had more to add.

Serebra Learning Management System - Cortex

Serebra Learning Corporation has a great low-cost LMS.

Read more about the LMS (Learning Management System) developed by Serebra Learning Corporation - Serebra Cortex.

From the site:

Serebra's Learning Management System, Cortex:Campus, offers a user-friendly environment for companies to plan, create, deliver and manage online training and ILT scheduling.

We've personally worked with Cortex, so I'm biased, of course!

What is an LMS? What is an LCMS?

A learning content management system is an environment where developers can create, store, reuse, manage and deliver learning content from a central object repository, usually a database. LCMS generally work with content that is based on a learning object model. These systems usually have good search capabilities, allowing developers to find quickly the text or media needed to build training content.

Learning Content Management Systems often strive to achieve a separation of content, which is often tagged in XML, from presentation. This allows many LCMS to publish to a wide range of formats, platforms, or devices such as print or web, all from the same source material.
