Adobe has release a mobile version of Adobe Connect Pro for the iPhone and iPod touch.  Now users can participate in online meetings while on the go!

There is more good news, since this application was built using the Flash development environment Adobe will be able to publish the application to the Flash Platform as well.  So, when Adobe AIR for mobile devices is available, Adobe will be able to release a version for mobile phones other than the iPhone.

To see the mobile application in action visit Alister Lee’s video on Connect Pro User Community.

If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch you can download the application for FREE from itunes.  Adobe expects that the mobile version will also work on the iPad.

Content is king, right?  Well then the new queen in eLearning is social media.  When was the last time we thought about how the new generation wants to learn?  Beyond content, beyond access, beyond look and feel, but “delivery and learner extensions”.   eLearning is on the cusp of a new horizon, (in its own infancy, and growing fast) by providing the training online through a system that provides updates, access to current information, and in an environment that lives on your desktop.  No, its not a new LMS, its lightweight, portable applications extending the training with streams of relevant information, news, updates,social media, and more.  Today, those who embrace eLearning focus deeply on content, which is correct, but we now need to focus on extending that content for real world information, news, and updates.

Brookwood is developing a solution that extends training on a personal level, includes social media, and can be customized to meet the learners specific needs.  Our solution will empower the learner to go beyond what is provided to them by allowing them to customize their own personal training portal.  Check back in a week for news on a upcoming demo of this new solution.

Take your training to a new level of learning and information with a Broowood Solution.

Although some would disagree with me, I’m finding that these difficult economic times are actually providing some fascinating opportunities to work with clients to automate certain processes and cut costs at the same time.  In particular, I have seen a real push to take labor and cost intensive operations such as Human Resources, and find a way to provide the same level of service with lower costs.

Sounds like the same old refrain we always hear from business, but the really neat thing is that now, it’s a fairly easy task to accomplish. There are some great platforms out there that give us enough out of the box functionality to make an automation project pretty quick to implement and really cost effective when you consider total cost of the project against operating budget saved after implementation. 

I keep running into executives that can’t get past thinking of a software project as high risk, hugely expensive, highly disruptive to implement, and never performing as promised.  That’s really old think at its worst.  The fun is bringing these projects on-line in weeks rather many months or even years, and watching organizations deliver a higher caliber service while lowering the long term operating budget.
