Audio interview: Jim McLaughlin, Head of Learning, RBS RBS was one of the first organisations to champion and benefit from e-learningon a large scale in the UK.As one of the largest banks in the world, learning technology continues to play a key part in enabling communication, collaboration and knowledge sharing across RBS. Those are some of the themes that Jim McLaughlin, Head of Learning at RBS, addressed in our recent conversation.

Google buys YouTube for silly money, Wikipedia gets more kudos than the BBC, open source software is bearing down on the big guys…sometimes you have to stop and ask ‘what does it all mean?’ Charles Ledbetter thinks he has the answer: it’s ‘We think’. Do you? We tap into his ideas and ask what they mean for learning this month: http://www.kineo.com/ideas/are-you-thinking-like-we-think-.html ------------------------------------------------- >> 4. Rapid authoring tool road test: Atlantic Link ‘We Think’ is all about collaboration. So, it turns out, is Atlantic Link. It was time for Kineo to get stuck into a server-based tool, and Atlantic Link has been getting lots of attention lately. This month we take it out for a two-hour trip into the open water. http://www.kineo.com/rapid-e-learning/atlantic-link---rapid-elearning-tool.html -------------------------------------------------

We have produced a set of resources including a 30 minute e-learning module to help organisations prepare for the new Age Regulations.
