NEWS e-learning document management distance learning LMS CRM The sixth edition of ABC.IT already available On the beginning of December, the sixth issue from ABC.IT series was published. The issue is titled "e-Content creation technology" - is a continuation of discussion on e-content subject. It contains the second part of the paper about cooperation between a discipline expert and an instructional designer. It discusses authoring tool selection criteria, which can help to choose a tool, which will allow realizing the designed scenario. It also presents how to use TeleEdu authoring tool to create courses with embedded expert knowledge, as an example of one of the possible e-learning development paths. Expert abilities of e-courses and LMS platforms are on the top of e-learning development, as they allow to create on-line instructional systems and to deliver just-in-time “knowledge pills” to a trainee. The issue contains also a discussion on using virtual mentors in e-courses, as a method for improving quality and effectiveness of e-learning. The results of conducted researches and conformance tests of Moodle e-learning platform with SCORM 2004 specification are published, as well as conclusions and hints for potential users, interested in introducing the platform and/or placing SCORM 2004 conformant tests on it. Moreover, we present The Certified Specialists Database – the place to look for specialists from innovative information technologies, including e-learning, available at www.renowator.org.pl . The database supports promotion of people with high competencies, confirmed by certificates of science units – System Research Institute and Institute of Mathematical Machines. Summaries and Table of Content. Table of contents and abstracts. The next seventh issue - 1/2007(7) – will be published in the first half of 2007 as a publication accompanying the fifth Conference from „Learning Electronization” series.

IV Conference from "Learning Electronization" series
This year’s, already fourth e-Learning
Conference „Focus on e-Content” from „Learning
Electronization” series, organized by IMM, was devoted to
the problems of electronic courses creation.
The Participants could become familiar with cooperation technology between disciplines experts and instructional designers, with the most frequent problems encountered by producers, authors and instructional designers during e-course production. Evaluation and testing of e-courses were the other discussed issues. Conference participants could listen to the lectures, and during traditional workshop session, associated with the conference, they could learn on sample errors of electronic courses, how to recognize a course meeting common standards and what is an e-learning role in knowledge database creation. This year, besides mentioned workshop session and discussion panel, there was also a meeting of „Scientists in EQUAL programme” Work group. On this session, the issues of vocational skills standardization and e-learning usage for vocational competencies improvement were discussed. At the end of June, the fifth issue from ABC.IT series was published. The issue is titled
"Focus on e-Content" and it refers particularly to problems with e-content creation. It discusses rules of cooperation between discipline expert and instructional designer in scope of e-course content documentation.
Quality indicator, criteria and methods of e-courses evaluation are presented. The series of papers referring to knowledge serving methodology is continued – a third part is devoted to dynamic e-courses scenario construction in TeleEdu environment.
Persons interested in practical aspect of e-learning will find valuable hints and pieces of advice on testing on their own e-courses conformance with SCORM specification, using Conformance Test Suite software. In addition, they will find a case-study based on Institute’s experience in this scope.
The other papers in the current issues concern innovative e-learning applications in electronic recruitment processes and in the Database on Innovation creation. In the issue, you can also find a report from introducing e-learning in state administration.
