KINEO NEWSLETTER Contents this month: 1. Free guide: Rapid e-learning (with Ufi/learndirect) Editor's note: Hi, Responding to people’s needs more rapidly, strengthening ties to the US, and showing commitment to sustainability? No, it’s not Gordon Brown’s to-do list (though it wouldn’t be a bad start), but some of the topics we’re exploring in this month’s newsletter:
With new product announcements, cool tools and more in this month’s newsletter, it’s no wonder Tony Blair is looking forward to finally having time to read it properly, rather than a furtive scan at the dispatch box (don’t think it’s all dossiers in that folder). If you’ve ideas for future newsletters, I’d love to hear from you. Get in touch at newsletter@kineo.com Best,
Kineo and Ufi/learndirect have teamed up to create a series of free guides on key issues in learning and technology. Our latest guide is on a topic it’s not hard for Kineo to get passionate about: Rapid e-learning. We correct the misperceptions, outline some key tips, and share rapid e-learning success stories from organisations including Marks & Spencer and Cable & Wireless. You can download it here: As rapid e-learning authoring tools go, Captivate is well established as a dominant systems training tool. But now there’s Captivate 2…what can it do? We’ve been using it a lot for our clients recently, and Mark Harrison’s taken time out from building Captivate projects for our clients (he assures me it was a Sunday) to write up a review: One of the great connections we made in a recent US trip was with Cammy Bean. Cammy’s an experienced instructional designer, and shares a lot of great ideas about learning and technology in her blog. We tapped into that thinking and share the spoils with you in this month’s podcast: Keeping connected with people like Cammy, and expanding your network gets a lot easier when you’re LinkedIn. If you’re not on there, it’s time you made some connections in this great networking site. Matt Fox helps you get acquainted in his insight article here: Now that he’s finished taking bets on the deputy PM election, our senior markets correspondent Steve Rayson’s got time to return to the no less political world of the e-learning marketplace. Find out who’s making moves in the authoring tool market here: Kineo’s pleased to announce that our Rapid E-learning Flatpacks are now also available pre-built in Atlantic Link’s powerful Content Point rapid e-learning authoring tool. Each Flatpack contains a full design, script and graphics for these key e-learning topics, quality assured for easy customisation for your organisation. Each is pre-built and ready for use as is, or for easy customisation and publishing via Atlantic Link’s Content Point. Sustainable and ethical business practices are high on everyone’s agenda. If you’re in the financial sector, how do you ensure your key people know your standards for environmental and social responsibility, and deliver to then? Kineo has partnered with Sustainable Finance, the leading consultancy on sustainable practices for the financial sector, to develop a series of three e-learning modules on environmental and social risk management for financial services organisations. Customisable to your requirements, or ready to use as is, these modules provide an efficient and engaging method to bring your team up to speed.
