Or, just give everyone a Mac, and you've solved the equipment problem. Instead of review/approval by SMEs, I'd prefer to just put it all out there in the "wild" and have the community correct/rate the content. Review/approval methods and social participation don't go together very well, in my experience. Interesting! Or, just give everyone a Mac, and you’ve solved the equipment problem.

What if end users were empowered to create best-practice training videos using Camtasia and submit them to a Subject Matter Expert for approval, adoption and distribution? A type of viral training of sorts. This contrasts the current top-down approach where the SME and some "training expert" create the training and roll it out to the masses. I've gone so far as price out what it would take to get Camtasia installed across the organization...then other projects, and the "reality police" killed the idea. I'm not sure if it's waffle thinkin' or spaghetti thinkin', but to me, it's socially empowered thinkin' :-) I’ve thought a lot about this, actually from a learning organization perspective.
