Recently, the Alaska Distance Learning Network (akDLN) went live (www.akdistancelearning.net). It is a virtual coffee house replete with an electronic file cabinet (think about it: a place to meet and chat equipped with a place to store the stuff you are discussing or referencing). The akDLN also hosts courses for clients. For example, we train health aides in Alaskan villages using this site, company employees using Outlook, others wants to improve management skills (stress management and time management included), and many others via custom-built courses.
Visit the site. If you wish, go through the “portal” and see the akDLN’s list of courses. Many of them will be locked for secure access by enrolled learners only, but a few are open for you to explore. Contact admin@akdistancelearning.net or consultant@transitionmanagement.us if the akDLN sparks your creative thought on how to develop the knowledge base of your company or organization! In addition to the ‘portal’, there are white papers regarding adult learning that you can access via www.akdistancelearning.net.
The timing of this debut is no accident. It is a gift offered by most wonderful colleagues and friends whose desire to see the akDLN live led to an incredible blending of talents and skills. Gratfulness abounds at the akDLN!
