------------------------------------------------ >> Editor's note: Hi, Hope you’re enjoying your summer. We’ll keep it light this month as we know you want to make the most of those last few days of sunshine. In July, we launched our new rapid e-learning resource area where we’ll share new ideas and thinking on this hot topic. This month we look at how rapid e-learning can support your sales training plans. There’s also the first in a two-part series reviewing the capabilities of Macromedia Breeze as a rapid e-learning authoring tool. Look out for some big announcements in the coming months from us on taking rapid e-learning to the next level. Finally - feeling hot under the collar about e-learning? Take comfort (or get even more annoyed) by listening to a selection of ‘e-learning bugbears’ from recent Kineo audio interviews. If you have ideas for future newsletters, I’d love to hear from you. Get in touch at newsletter@kineo.com Best, Stephen --------------------------------------------------- >> 1. Rapid E-learning for Sales The effectiveness of your sales team will literally make or break your organisation. So it’s no wonder that sales training comes very near the top of most lists of training priorities. What can rapid e-learning bring to the table? Matt Fox considers the question and proposes more than one answer. Read his article here Sales and Rapid E-learning. Check out our other rapid e-learning ideas and insights at:

------------------------------------------------- >> 2. Authoring Tool Road Test: Breeze (part 1) Our series of rapid e-learning authoring tools continues this month. Last month, we put Articulate through its paces. This month, in the first of a two-part analysis, Mark Harrison examines what Macromedia Breeze offers the rapid e-learning designer. Read his review here: http://www.kineo.com/rapid-e-learning/breeze-presenter---rapid-e-learning.html ------------------------------------------------- >> 3. Audio Round-up: E-learning Bugbears We’ve interviewed leading lights in the e-learning field from Berkeley to Brighton and they all have one thing in common: they love talking about what drives them crazy about e-learning and training. This month we present a batch of bugbears (if you know the right collective noun, let us know) from recent interviews. Caution: do not listen to when driving if you’re prone to road rage…. Listen to them here: http://www.kineo.com/audio-downloads/e-learning-bugbears.html -------------------------------------------------
>> 4. E-learning Market Update The e-learning market doesn’t go on holiday. Well, some people in it do. Not Steve Rayson though. In this month’s update he looks at some significant recent industry mergers. Could it be the summer of love for these companies or will it be all tears by Christmas….

It’s now less than 50 days until October 1st, the date on which Employment Equality (Age) Regulations will make it unlawful to discriminate against workers, employees, job seekers and trainees because of their age. If you’re an employer, you need to take action. Kineo can help. We have produced a set of resources including a 30 minute e-learning module to help organisations prepare for the new Age Regulations. The Home Office, BUPA, Citizens Advice and others have chosen Kineo’s Age Awareness solution. For the latest updates on age discrimination issues, visit: http://age2006.org. ------------------------------------------------- >> 6. Kineo in 2 minutes
