I will definitely check these out and add them to the list. FYI: What I have been doing is tagging the tuts in my Delicious account whenever I find a screencast of interest. When I can I will see if I can make them into a tag cloud and share that too. Jeff David,

And it's good to see you creating more screencasts. I think the last time you created one we used it on the Screenr blog (http://blog.screenr.com/post/224956304/how-to-add-your-webcam-to-your-screencast) I created two Flash w/Articulate screencasts you might want to add: Understand how Flash layers and transparency work in PowerPoint (http://screenr.com/MpH) How to insert custom Flash elearning interactions into your rapid elearning course (http://screenr.com/xBx) Cool list and I'm looking forward to seeing it grow!

I can definitely can see corporate training departments participating at that level. And easing into sharing at a more in depth level once they become comfortable with the concept. Thank you for the inspiring comments. Jeff Susan,

Individual people are always willing to do so, but since what they create is owned by the company ... things get sticky. Two ways I see it working for corporate content - small chunks and independent trainers. It's easier to jump the hurdles to share things like graphics or lists or outlines than an entire course, so there could be room for objects being shared rather than courses. (Oooo, the resuable learning object lives!) And for independent trainers or even freelance content creators, a place to share courses gives them a more quality way to get exposure than, oh a white paper say. Free wares sampling is a proven winner in marketing in a crowded field. (Both the examples given were definitely geared toward academia in the way they've structured their collections. Can corporate and academic content exist together or does there need to be a separate space for open content for corporate settings? Hmmm.) I agree on the corporate side not wanting to share.

In fact there is very valuable opportunities for all staff on these sites. What I was trying to say is there are challanges for corp. training departments to share content, which is why so much of the open content is coming from academia.

And if Steve Jobs is waiting for HTML 5, he will have a long wait before HTML 5 is at the point where it can provide the level of RIA development that Flash provides. That's my 2 cents.

This locks out the iPhone/iTouch and other Apple device. As an independent producer for corporate e-learning modules, I am anxious to hear your input on the matter and of course other experts in the field.

I will definitely check it out. I may also follow-up with you on more advice about publishing Flash and Dreamweaver as SCORM compliant if that's OK. Jeff Joseph,
