Saw this great info-graphic today from Knewton. There are plenty of reasons to be discouraged by the state of e-learning today, but when you take a look at the bigger picture there are plenty of reasons for exuberant optimism as well.
Want to be part of this growing industry? We’re at the center of it and we’re hiring, come join us.

Helping LINGOs help organizations that help others

LINGOs is a consortium of over 60 international humanitarian relief, development, conservation and health organizations. They provide the latest learning technologies and courses from industry leading partners so their non-profit members can increase the skill levels of their employees, thereby increasing the impact of their programs.
While LINGOs provides a robust, hosted platform to administer the courseware, some members have additional needs that require using other LMS solutions. For those organizations, LINGOs needed a way to deliver their course library to the member’s external LMS, while still controlling access to the content.
Enter SCORM Cloud with Dispatch
LINGOs partnered with Rustici Software to manage the delivery of the content. By using the Dispatch feature within SCORM Cloud, LINGOs member organizations can access the LINGOs course library within their own SCORM-compliant LMS while LINGOs continues to retain control of distribution and access to the content.
“Rustici Software has been tremendously supportive of LINGOs and SCORM Dispatch has been an invaluable tool for us. It has enabled us to maintain control of the intellectual property that has been generously made available by our corporate partners, while allowing our members to make independent decisions regarding the LMS that best suits their needs. SCORM Dispatch allows us to accommodate those decisions without costly and time-intensive custom interfaces.” — Eric Berg, Executive Director, LINGOs

We write about working here more often than we ever post that we’re hiring. Small company, only so many slots to fill, yada, yada, yada. Seriously, when you have a great place to work, who wants to leave?
So now’s your chance. We’re hiring. Developer types. All sizes. Bonus points if you can beat Tim at ping pong.
- Why you want to work here. (Well most of why. It doesn’t mention the cookies.)
- How to make it happen
- Some background on how we look at hiring.

The morning started out like any other. David decided to unwrap a package of Orbit gum. We’ve been headed down a path toward implementing a bit of BLTI from IMS (Basic Learning Tools Interoperability), and so we have a copy of Dr. Chuck’s book on our island. (Dr. Chuck’s tattoo has been admired many times, but today, we noticed the back of the bookjacket.)
Well, we really started wondering why Chuck was yelling the whole time. We decided that we would take the opportunity to reenact this important moment. And if we were going to have that moment, we might as well video it, so that we could share it with you, instead of just the guy who rode by on his bike.
Enjoy.

How first and last aren’t that far apart

There is a trophy here at Rustici — the Donnelly Cup. Reserved for the lowest rung on the ping-pong ladder, the Donnelly Cup serves as a reminder to the owner that there is always room for improvement. The Cup changes hands often, and currently resides in Joe’s office. Joe prominently displays the trophy and will challenge anyone to a duel to share its inspiration.
Another trophy also appeared at our offices recently —SCORM Cloud earned a Gold Medal in the Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Technology Awards for Best Advance in Social Learning Technology. When we capture a gold medal we like to celebrate, and we’d like to say “thank you” to Brandon Hall and our fellow winners. We are in good company on a list which includes many of our customers.
What’s even more exciting than our new bling are the possibilities that SCORM Cloud offers to advance social learning technology. It allows you to turn virtually any online platform into a track-able learning environment. Whether it’s using the pre-built WordPress plugin to turn your blog into a full blown training source, or developing your own app on top of our API, SCORM Cloud allows you to bring learning to where learners live.
So while the Donnelly Cup recognizes the potential for ping pong greatness, we see similar opportunities with SCORM Cloud to inspire new applications within eLearning.
If you have an inspiring use of SCORM Cloud, share it with us or let us know what you’d like to see it do next.
