Are we embracing open source content, or is our internal L&D teams’ bias to always create customized content to meet a client’s “specific needs? With the proliferation of open source content available today, how might we better leverage open source content for our clients in a cost effective, timely, and relevant manner?

We are creating and ELE Learning Cohort to explore the challenge of making open source content cost-effective, timely, and relevant. Using the Design Thinking for Innovation available on Coursera from the University of Virginia-Darden School of Business, our learning cohort will experience: a cost effective, timely, and relevant manner? 

• Cohort Kick-off Oct 4th (in-person) or 15th (email)
• Enroll in and participate in the Coursera program, October 22 – December 3
• Cohort Mid-Session Check-In I on November 1
• Cohort Mid-Session Check-In II November 29
• Cohort Learning Experience Debrief Dec 13

How to use open source content in a cost effective, timely, and relevant way. Specifically, we will be exploring the role of a cohort in this learning solution, and how it might be deployed across organizations.
