Corporate Education meets New Media
Whats the latest thing to hit Corporate training and partner training? Podcasting. Creation of video, screenshots and a combination thereof have hit the corporate environment as both a less expensive vehicle for training, but also a more accessible and one which is easier to distribute and absorb. The latest is to make key training available via podcast to RSS and download to a Zune (or other PODcast device :), for acces to training on the go. Now there is a Podcasting Kit for Sharepoint which makes this process easier and establishes a framework for media distribution.
