Individual people are always willing to do so, but since what they create is owned by the company ... things get sticky.<br><br>Two ways I see it working for corporate content - small chunks and independent trainers. It's easier to jump the hurdles to share things like graphics or lists or outlines than an entire course, so there could be room for objects being shared rather than courses. (Oooo, the resuable learning object lives!) And for independent trainers or even freelance content creators, a place to share courses gives them a more quality way to get exposure than, oh a white paper say. Free wares sampling is a proven winner in marketing in a crowded field.<br><br>(Both the examples given were definitely geared toward academia in the way they've structured their collections. Can corporate and academic content exist together or does there need to be a separate space for open content for corporate settings?

I can definitely can see corporate training departments participating at that level. And easing into sharing at a more in depth level once they become comfortable with the concept.<br><br>Thank you for the inspiring comments.<br><br>JeffJeffnoreply@blogger.com
