Tom Kulmann's excellent, simple, common sense (!) account of how to get learners using rapid tools plays into a big theme of mine at the moment: let's spread the use of rapid tools (of all sorts including video editing, music, blogging etc.) around our organisations to cultivate creative, uncontrolled...possibly viral learning. This might finally achieve the cost/performance results the e-learning has been promising for more than a decade now, by shifting the onus of learning development away from over-stretched L&D departments. It's all about using e-learning tools to do work currently more likely to be owned by functions calling themselves something like "Knowledge Management". It's about empowering sharing - which people are going to do anyway, so let's genuinely empower them. This also plays into some of the points that Clive Shepherd summarises here. In particular: 

The importance of continuous, informal, social learning will continue to grow and will require L&D professionals to become competent in creating the conditions for this to occur.

...the role of the line manager in focusing and reinforcing learning will continue to be crucial.

New technologies are not just ways of delivering the same content differently, they open up new opportunities for people to learn. 

The boundaries between L&D and OD will blur further as learning is embedded into the way organisations work.
