Abstract: Learning management systems (LMSs) have evolved over their short history in many ways. From the first classroom-based “training management systems” to today’s e-
learning solutions, here’s a look at the future of
learning technologies and current industry trends. Discover more about how performance management, informal
learning, social media, and Web 2.0 are affecting the development of
learning technologies.

Abstract: Standards can play an important part in enterprise learning, from the development of learning content to how it interacts with database management applications—specifically learning management systems (LMSs) and learning content management systems (LCMs). This document provides an overview of the standards that affect learning technologies and advice on how to work with vendors of standards-affected technologies.
Abstract: A secure and accurate flow of information in your supply chain operations has never been more critical—and complex. Digital transfer of unstructured information is a security risk, for both confidentiality and compliance, and traditional file transfer methods are now falling short. A managed file transfer solution combining hardware, software, and networks can meet your demands for visibility, security, and compliance.
Abstract: Companies should consider managed file transfer (MFT) suite vendors that meet their tactical and strategic needs. It's all too easy to be reactive and deploy technology that supports only one file transfer protocol and one standard for secure file transfers. It's more prudent to deploy a product that can be easily expanded and upgraded to handle multiple protocols and multiple standards in a well-managed, auditable way.
Abstract: Ensuring your data transfer is done in a manner that is secure, auditable, reliable, and compliant depends a lot on your IT applications. But choosing a solution for user-to-user secure file transfer can be challenging. For one thing, you need to ensure it supports your methods of handling confidential and sensitive information—to adhere to internal security and privacy policies and to government mandates. Find out more.
Abstract: Organizations today, in the face of increased global competition, need educated managers and employees who can solve problems, understand complex issues, and learn new skills quickly. This means that training organizations need to provide learning opportunities that effectively address these issues in ways that produce high retention rates. But if lectures don’t work, then what does? Enter discovery learning.
Abstract: The Internet has made information transfer faster and easier. But alongside, hacking and data theft are increasing threats to organizations’ security. How can files be delivered safely within an organization or far beyond its walls? Secure file transfer reporting and tracking tools help keep sensitive data in the right hands—and help organizations comply with government regulations.
Abstract: You’re considering a move from traditional training to e-learning, but you’re not sure if the returns will be significant. In fact, employees are better able to retain and transfer what they’ve learned with Web-based training (WBT) and computer-based training (CBT). And typically, with these methods, the time a worker spends being trained is reduced by about 40 percent. Learn more about how e-learning can benefit you.
Abstract: Michigan Virtual University (MVU) was set up as a not-for-profit corporation to serve as a champion for online learning and a provider of cost-effective services and technology that support teaching and learning. MVU wanted to launch a more cost-effective version of its LearnPort that would allow teachers to get training anywhere with an Internet connection. Find out about the learning management system (LMS) MVU chose.
Abstract: How people learn is now as important as what people learn. Organizations that appreciate new learning styles and provide their employees with Web 2.0 tools, such as wikis, blogs, video capturing and editing applications, and virtual worlds, have a greater chance of creating a successful learning process. The question is not whether you can benefit from informal learning initiatives, but how to implement them successfully.
Abstract: Emerging technologies promise the possibility of big benefits. But real success comes only when a technology’s strengths outweigh its limitations. In the field of learning management, this often means user support must be among the solution’s strengths if it is to thrive. Discover how users have influenced today’s top five e-learning learning trends, and how you can use them to unlock your organization’s full potential.
Abstract: In the past, training was seen as a preventive action or default activity. Then learning came into the forefront as a proactive initiative that was more strongly linked to enhancing performance. This radical change from training to learning has created a new awareness of measurement that chief executive officers (CEO) need to take note of. Discover the 7 key learning indicators that can get you started on the right path.
Abstract: To understand the meaning and value of dynamic content, you must first look at the various approaches to e-learning. Traditional e-learning hard-bakes content into static material, causing updates to become a very lengthy process. Dynamic content strategies, however, delivered through evolving learning content management (LCM) technologies, provide efficient, error-free content revision. Find out how LCM can benefit you.
Abstract: Understanding the effectiveness of learning programs on workforce performance and the organization as a whole is what drives continuous improvement. This white paper describes how talent-based learning provides a framework to track the effectiveness of learning management across an organization and integrate those findings to improve workforce performance and productivity.
Abstract: Knowledge management requires a platform that identifies all data associated with business processes—and the people that participate in or have responsibility for them. A true enterprise information management platform helps capture knowledge: it captures tacit knowledge as workers perform daily tasks and converts it to actionable knowledge items. Learn how knowledge management is vital to the nuclear industry.
Abstract: Corporations share data with a variety of remote offices, trading partners, customers, and regulatory agencies. Sensitive data is transferred to and from entities around the world billions of times a day. Security breaches are frequently in the news, with reports of compromised customer data. However, business-to-business (B2B) workflow breakdowns are more likely to occur—and are potentially just as harmful.
Abstract: In going through a business decision process for complex technology selections, more and more use is being made of technologically driven processes using Decision support tools and captured knowledge. The use of these systems and the capability to drive a solution from them assumes an ability to accurately express business requirements and business value within these tools. In this article, we explore the marriage of knowledge management and decision support in forming knowledge based selection systems and procedures that can assist in reducing the current appalling record of IT project failures. This is illustrated by the process to select a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).
Abstract: The clock is ticking for Canadian manufacturers to come up with a solution to the ongoing loss of knowledge capital. Natural employee attrition, such as departures or layoffs, inevitable retirement, and the brain drain are contributing to an exodus of knowledge. That’s why the best hope for Canadian manufacturers lies in introducing knowledge management strategies across the enterprise—before it’s too late.
