CNN Pipeline: A learning perspective, & Blogs in learning

Learning 2006-2005 Information – Free PodCasts Video – CNN Pipeline

I don’t have a subscription to CNN Pipeline, but from what I’m seeing here it appears to be really interesting technology with superb flexibility and most importantly, a user-based focus. Elliot’s challenge to incorporate this kind of interface into corporate intranets for knowledge sharing is a bit unrealistic at this point, but may be something some companies can shoot for (others will find it to be serious overkill).

Take note also of Elliot’s site. This seems to me to be a great use of a blog for learning content. He’s really incorporated different modes of learning (video, audio, and text), and is tying everything back to a live event, but everything is optional. You don’t need to have seen this stuff to get the full effect of the live event, and you don’t need the live event to appreciate and learn from the blog content.

What I don’t understand is why companies are not following this approach of using blogs to present integrated pre- and post-information with their courses (self-paced or instructor-led). This is a great method for supplying pre-work or updates. It just amazes me that it hasn’t really caught on.
