Adobe's Shameer Ayyappan has come up with another way to combine classroom based training, eLearning and social networking with his introduction of Twitter for Captivate.
According to Ayyappan, his new Captivate widget allows students in a classroom based training situation to communicate with other members of the class by posting Twitter comments directly from within Captivate published lessons. The tweets are automatically sent out to everyone in the class allowing for real-time, on the spot collaboration and problem solving between eLearning students. The result? eLearning can now be extended far beyond the reaches of any physical classroom.
