dominKnow LCMS powering new learning for antiques and collectibles

So much of the world of e-learning is aimed at internal organizational learning.

And if you look at the major conferences and trade shows, you might get the impression that it's just the big organizations that take best advantage of e-learning.

So it's refreshing and exciting to observe one of our clients, WhatsItWorthtoYou.com (wiw2u.com), rolling out a suite of almost three dozen courses for the world of antiques and collectibles, a learning opportunity that is a real community-focused project.

wiw2u.com's core focus is offering online appraisals, a sort of online antiques road show that takes advantage of a network of more than dozens of knowledgeable experts in almost every conceivable area of antique and collectible specialization.

That expert network forms the heart of the new set of courses, giving collectors a unique new opportunity to expand their knowledge of their particular collecting passion by learning from acknowledged experts. wiw2u.com has used the dominKnow LCMS to both create and deploy its courses.

The dominKnow LCMS's simple-to-use Authoring Tool enabled the wiw2u.com team to carry out all of its design and development goals in building the courses themselves, and the dominKnow API allowed wiw2u.com to tie the dominKnow LCMS into its existing website utilities, which already provided a structure for e-commerce as well as tracking site users, etc. When taking one of the new courses, wiw2u.com members never have to leave the website - the incorporation of the dominKnow LCMS into the site's existing structures is seamless.

All of this has been carried out by a small team that is passionate about the world of collecting, and is now reaching out to share that passion with others around the world. It's an exciting use of the power of e-learning.
