How should you procure the technologies to support learning in your organisation? There’s a vast array of LMSs, authoring tools and other technologies to choose from: Exe, Ilias, eFront, Moodle, Xerte to name but a few. A day of practical case studies, sharing experiences and your chance to join the debate.

The key questions we expect to be looking at on the day are:

• Are there any examples of open-source software that isn't designed for geeks?
• When is it a good idea to look at open-source software?
• How can we make open-source software work in our organisation?
• Why would you choose software that doesn't come with any support?
• What are the objections your IT department may raise about opensource and how to address them?

This workshop will be useful to:

• In-house L&D staff under cost pressure to get more from learning technologies
• L&D practitioners (both in-house and consultants) who want to offer a wider blend of learning than classic self-paced e-learning
• People who are frustrated that the proprietory softwares they use for learning are not flexible enough/customisable to their needs
