200 - A Look at e-Learning in Brazil - CEO Perspectives; LMS and CMS Evolving; Trainer Tip: Real Time PowerPoint
March 15, 2001
1. A Look at e-Learning in Brazil - CEO Perspectives: I had the honor of
presenting the keynote address at the first e-Learning Brazil event, in San
Paulo. There were 40 CEO's at a special briefing and almost 400 training
folks at the conference the next day. There was a keen interest and
thirst in accelerating the adoption of e-Learning in this large and
wide-spread country. Here were some of the comments from your colleagues
in Brazil and a few of my observations:
* They want to make sure that the e-Learning approaches of higher education
and corporation are compatible.
* They want to be able to rapidly move towards e-Learning, without starting
with a huge capital investment right at the beginning.
* A strong desire to make sure e-Learning maps to the culture and language
of Brazil, while opening the door to worldwide knowledge access.
* CEO's intrigued by Time to Market and Time to Hire/Train ROI issues.
Congrats to Francisco Soelti from MicroPower for launching this event and movement in Brazil.

3. LMS and CMS Evolving: There is growing dialogue about the differences
between Leanring Management Systems and Content Management Systems. We are
hearing about a confusion in the marketplace concerning the difference
between systems that are managing the learning transaction and those that
are focused on managing the content. In two week, at our Business of
e-Learning Summit in Las Vegas, we will ask the vendors in attendance to
help clarify the differences and we will share them with TRENDS readers.
If you are a vendor and would like to participate in this key dialogue,

4. Trainer Tip: Real Time PowerPoint - One technique that trainers can use
to add dynamic learning to the classroom is to use PowerPoint in a slightly
different mode. Rather than use the screenshow view of a set of slides, I
use the edit mode. This allows me to EDIT, REVISE and ADD content on the
fly. If I am doing a brainstorming activity, I record the ideas right into
a slide. The group starts to see PowerPoint as an e-FlipChart.
