So far I have posted a bunch of information on this crazy sounding thing called Learning @… I’ve posted all this info about the product that states that it is a “a customizable, cost-effective online employee learning tool designed to fit your company’s learning and development needs…” and a cost effective alternative to “expensive Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS)”.

But what’s with the name? What does Learning @… mean?

The answer is simple. Think of it this way: An employee, Jane Q. Learner, walks into work one day at an organization called The XYZ Company. She sits down at her computer and logs-on to her company’s online learning portal provided by the best organization development consulting firm around (biased opinion? Maybe a little). Jane begins her day by checking the Learning Seminars Calendar to see if there are any training events she needs to attend for the week and after finding the Business Acumen course she has signed up for she quickly and easily scrolls over to the Online Learning Module section to go through the conflict resolution training module the HR department has asked you to complete. Finally, before she has even completed her morning cup of coffee, Jane looks up The XYZ Company’s Paid Time Off policy in the Policies and Procedures section of the online learning portal so that she can begin planning her next vacation at lunch time.

So what is Jane Q. Learner doing while cruising through the online application? She is:

Learning @ The XYZ Company!!!

Get it?
