Doing E-learning has released its latest e-learning podcast, "Anti-social learning: the legal risks of Web 2.0", available now at www.doingelearning.com
Doing E-learning is a regular podcast for people in organisations wanting to benefit from e-learning, and is headed up by Keith Landsborough and Dominique Lowenthal, who have over 20 years' experience between them in technology assisted learning.
"Blogs, wikis, and video sharing sites to name but a few are now common daily haunts for millions of people, so it's no surprise organisations want to leverage these services for people development"
E-learning encompasses any learning that can be delivered through technology, and Web 2.0 technologies offer great opportunities to organisations. However, intellectual property law, defamation law, privacy law, content liability laws, and discrimination law all need to be considered in setting up these participatory services.
Commenting on the podcast Keith Landsborough said, “For people who do want to implement a Web 2.0 solution in their organisation, this latest Doing E-learning podcast provides a basic overview of some of the legal aspects to be aware of. It confirms for anyone deploying Web 2.0 in their organisation the need to seek where necessary the appropriate professional advice”.
The Doing E-learning podcasts provide information and guidelines that HR, Training, and Learning & Development professionals can act on today. Future suggestions for podcasts are welcomed by the Doing E-learning team.
