New eLearning group to be launched at LT event

The Corporate eLearning Consortium, a new membership organisation offering companies the opportunity to access eLearning content, will be launched at the Learning Technologies event this week.

Martin Baker, CEO and founder of The Charity Learning Consortium has set up this new concept following the success of the CLC. The newly formed consortium will also focus on collaboration and help to share knowledge, resource, ideas and best practice to others who share similar goals on eLearning and other learning technologies.

The consortium will hold regular meeting in London, with case studies, workshops and session led by specialists and guest speakers brought in to discuss issues raised by associates.

Baker said: "Membership of The Corporate eLearning Consortium is very much a partnership. Like The Charity Learning Consortium before it, the consortium is based on the mantra 'by the members, for the members', with its future direction being shaped by our members needs.

"Having seen the many benefits of this unique collaborative approach, which keeps costs down and also enables networking and sharing of best practice and resources, i'm thrilled to be launching this exciting concept into the corporate world. It's never been more important to work smart, and by working together L&D departments can achieve more for less."

The consortium provides a portfolio of more than 180 eLearning courses to members, created in partnership with UK publisher Jenson. The courses include leadership and management, health and safety, desktop IT skills and soft skills such as communication skills, personal development and customer service.
