| The Blended Learning Book |
 |
Josh Bersin's latest book, The Blended Learning
Book, is the result of more than three years of
research into best practices in blended learning. It
covers everything you need to know to understand
why, when, and how to use e-learning in your
corporate training programs.
One of the most important parts of this book covers
the methodologies you can use to create your own
blended programs. It reviews the 17 media types,
the three blending approaches, and when to
use live, self-study, and ILT training methods.
The book also describes how to develop e-learning
content and the tools, processes, and best practices
established in this industry. Finally, the book walks
you through the process of marketing, budgeting, and
measuring blended programs.

| Free Webinar Series: E-Learning Content Integration |
 |
Our research reveals that content integration is one
of the most challenging aspects of making e-learning
a reality for most organizations. While industry
standards (e.g. AICC, SCORM) have made great
strides, experienced e-learning technology managers
find that getting reliable and cost effective
integrations between content and other systems
(e.g. LMS) is not as easy as it seems.
This webinar will give you some insights into these
challenges and present options that can save you
time and reduce the headaches of making integration
work.
The webinar will be held:
- When: September 29, 8:30am
Pacific/11:30am Eastern

| Consolidating Disparate LMSs in Health Care |
 |
In 2000, The Regence Group was using
a variety of training systems across its major
divisions. In order to ensure compliance with
government regulations on training, the company
needed a single system through which
to manage, deploy, and report on all their training
initiatives.
An ROI analysis estimated that the project would
break even in five years. Most of the
cost savings would come from reducing the
administrative overhead of maintaining disparate
systems.
Regence Group selected DKSystems' OnTrack for
Training as its enterprise-wide system. With just 2.5
full-time equivalents, implementation took 10 months
and cost approximately $630K, with annual costs of
$120K. The DKSystems' online LMS configuration
tool, DK WebBuilder, was used to perform interface
customization without any programming.
