Sharing Your Site with RSS.
by Jason Cook

So, do you need to publish RSS on your site? Who's really using and reading RSS? And should you download an RSS aggregator?

This brief how-to will answer those questions one at a time, and then provide a walkthrough of a no-frills RSS feed — one you can build for your site in just a few minutes. We'll conclude with some tips on publicizing your RSS feed and automating the feed-building process.

Organizational Learning is No Accident makes an important point: effective learning requires time to reflect...and our "right now" form of communication (email, IM, etc.) doesn't allow reflection time...making it difficult for people and organizations to change (time being an important component to acclimate to changes).

The article cited is from the Harvard Business School, and actually turns out to have less to do with e-Learning (nothing to do with e-Learning, actually) than it does with change management. Having said that, it really is important to include change management as part of the action plan any time e-Learning is employed. Many times e-Learning has failed to bring about the business results that were desired, not so much because there was anything technically "wrong" with the e-Learning, but because the e-Learning was applied to support a bad management decision. Front-end analysis is still critical. It is unfortunately still true that training never gets credit for good results, but it takes the full burden of blame for failure.

(My glum thought of the day.)
