Aggregating content

Here at Ossidian we often have to justify our eLearning products against the tons of free stuff that's out there on the Web.

Well it's certainly possible for everyone in an organization to go around with Google - check out all the possible Wikipedia entries, freebie tutorials and whitepapers. But does every corporation want its employees wasting time searching for their own answers ?

Our justification for eLearning is that it structures content properly for learning. We never pretend that we are the only source. We never promise that you won't find the information elsewhere. But we certainly do promise that we sift and sort the relevant facts and present them in a manner that makes it easy to learn.

That is not something that everyone is good at. And we don't think every employee should be burdened with doing her/her own academic-level research to get job-related training.
