E-learning is both advanced technology and a challenge for people who want to learn more and progress in today’s business environment. E-learning entails the use of technology to help people learn better: this means making use of the convenience of the online arena in delivering lectures and learning modules for people who have no time to enroll in classes and return to school. It also means making use of different multimedia devices and products to supplement conventional classroom lectures. This can include the use of audio and video files to accompany ordinary classes or schoolwork, which employees might find boring or monotonous.
E-learning is also a challenge. E-learning modules are delivered online, through a website or through software that functions by downloading learning modules through the Internet. These modules are best viewed by a conventional browser or supporting software, both of which entail long hours spent in front of a computer screen. This can be exhausting for many employees who already spend most of their day typing out reports and working out charts, graphs, and evaluations online. This means that e-learning modules have to be designed so well, in that they are attractive to the eyes, pleasing to look at without causing eyestrain, and delivering the most amount of important knowledge to employees at the same time.
On top of all these, e-learning modules have to be controlled by an efficient learning management system, or LMS. An LMS is a comprehensive software package that functions in sending e-learning modules and content to the right e-learning participants. In general, an LMS should be convenient for e-learning module creators to use: it should allow e-learning module creators and organizers to access the individual accounts of e-learning participants, and it should allow e-learning creators and organizers to change the content and style of e-learning modules no matter where in the world the e-learning creators and organizers are.
Creating a successful LMS means striking the balance between convenience for the users, and compliance with existing standards that govern the quality of e-learning products. Convenience can entail designing e-learning modules that are customized to meet the needs of individual businesses, even individual e-learning participants. This means that the e-learning infrastructure, or the LMS, has to be customized to either meet the needs of a fast-paced corporation, or the long-term educational aims of a distance education program offered by a university. An LMS should also ensure that e-learning products can meet the needs of as many different people as possible, whether these people are fast or slow learners, and whether or not these e-learning participants have disabilities that may get in the way of their ability to learn new things.
The LMS actually governs the run-time environment of e-learning products. This run-time environment is comprised of a union between the content provider and its host system, a collaboration that is, in turn, governed by a set of standards called SCORM. Short for Sharable Content Object Reference Model, SCORM standards ensure that an LMS and its e-learning product can cater to the needs of as many people as possible. To pass SCORM standards and receive SCORM certification, an LMS should be evaluated by the U.S. Department of Defense, whose ADL, or Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative, dictates the progress and implementation of SCORM standards.
Having a SCORM LMS, or a SCORM compliant LMS, can spell profit for e-learning creators and producers. A SCORM certification means, among other things, that the e-learning software and module can be used across a wide variety of browsers, and is compatible with the greatest number of commonly used computer software. In other words, a SCORM certification can be used as a basis for quality, and having a SCORM certification can translate into high quality products.
If you are interested in getting a SCORM certification for your e-learning module, do as much research as you can on how you can improve your software. A SCORM certification can also be a good standard for judging what e-learning modules you can use to ensure the best education for you and your company’s employees.

How many times have you said to yourself?
* This music keeps falling off the piano.
* Where is that song? I can never find the page.
* When am I going to do something about this music?
* I’m tired of stopping in the middle of the piece just to turn the page.
* I can’t believe it, the recital was only three weeks ago, and I forgot how much I liked that piece.
Think about how frustrated you have been by trying to deal with the majority of your musical material constantly in such a mess!
Think of how many times you couldn’t face going to the piano simply because the thought of pulling your music together was far too overwhelming.
Wouldn’t you like to maximize the return on the investment that you have made and continue to make in your musical development?
As they say in the business world:
What’s your ROI (Return On Investment)?
After countless hours of practice, many years of piano lessons, hundreds of dollars spent on instruction and sheet music, you’re stuck, frustrated and immobilized.
Why not take advantage of your freer summer season schedule to stay connected to your musical favorites?
Here’s how: just follow this simple step-by-step method:
1. Pull all of your music books together into one place
2. Look through one book at a time to remind yourself which pieces you enjoy playing and mark each piece with a post-it note or paper clip
3. Make photocopies of each selection
4. Sort all of the music into stacks of categories.
5. Here are some suggested types of groups:
a) Classical and popular styles
b) Fast and slow tempos
c) By composer, group or singer
d) Key signature
5. Pick an organizing system
a) Looseleaf books with non-glare page protectors
b) Pocket folders (put labels on the front)
c) File folders: staple each piece onto a folder and put these into a portable filing system
6. Experiment: once the music is organized in one of these three ways, you can change the order or arrangement of music for a few practice sessions until it feels satisfying.
One Final Note
Organizing your music is a surefire method for increasing your return on investment.
Yes, it will take some effort, but it will really pay off.
You will have created a dependable tool which is guaranteed to energize your musical growth and development.
You will gain a whole new perspective on practicing the piano, and you’ll feel great about yourself!
It’s Not Too Late!
