eLearning Resources & Tools

Open Source eLearning Network Event

eLN-logoOn July 12th, 2013 in Birmingham, England, the eLearning Network will be holding a day of practical case studies, sharing experiences and debate which will cover how you should procure the technologies to support learning in your organization. There will also be a number of experienced speakers and panel members present who will discuss topics such as: An introduction to open source elearning tools, Open Source LMS – Wouldya? Couldya? Shouldya’ and more.

You will also be able to explore a vast array of LMSs, authoring tools and other technologies including eFront, Exe, Ilias, Moodle, Xerte to name but a few.

The key questions which will be looked at on the day are:

  • Are there any examples of open-source software that isn’t designed for geeks?
  • When is it a good idea to look at open-source software?
  • How can we make open-source software work in our organisation?
  • Why would you choose software that doesn’t come with any support?
  • What are the objections your IT department may raise about opensource and how to address them?

This workshop will be useful to:

  • In-house L&D staff under cost pressure to get more from learning technologies
  • L&D practitioners (both in-house and consultants) who want to offer a wider blend of learning than classic self-paced e-learning
  • People who are frustrated that the proprietory softwares they use for learning are not flexible enough/customisable to their needs
