LIQVID, a Noida, India based eLearning company has been voted to the no. 8 slot at the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 India 2006 awards. LIQVID claims 450% growth across the last 3 years and this would mean that the company would be gearing up to take a more visible role in the country's e-Learning landscape. Will we hear more of them?...time will most certainly tell!

eLearning To Go! by Kineo

My friend Steve Rayson has sent me a heads up on the launch of Kineo's Rapid eLearning Store which by the time of writing this has already launched. So whats it all about - in Kineo's words:

"From authoring tools to guides; from e-learning templates to training; from temporary staff to low cost hosted learning management and delivery platforms, look no further.

Also explore our unique flatpack e-learning, everything you need including scripts, images and questions. Just edit and assemble. No time to assemble? Then buy our e-learning to go, our high quality e-learning products."

• Here is their brochure.
• The brochure explaining their "Flatpack" concept can be downloaded here .
• They have also put together a nice authoring tool selection guide which can be downloaded by clicking here .

Rapid eLearning is the new buzzword and Kineo seems poised to carve out a niche for themselves early on in this space. Indian vendors like Brainvisa are also experimenting by developing authoring tools, the success of which remains to be seen. It will be interesting to see how the market evolves and the impact this has on traditional courseware developers out of India and what they do to re-align themselves with the new market dynamic.

The Learned Man! wishes Steve and the Kineo team all the best. (Steve also by the way likes his coffee and here is a picture of Steve with the author having a cup at Starbucks, London, September 2006)
