Training isn’t immune from the changes that newspaper and book publishers are facing as production and distribution costs drop dramatically. These days, anyone can create a simple course at little to no cost (except their time) – especially if they choose a simple interface format such as LM-Light rather than a complex format like SCORM.
There’s an excellent (as usual) post on this subject on Tony Karrer’s eLearning Technology blog.
Why is this important for security awareness training (SAT)? Because it’s already removing cost as one of the barriers to widespread adoption. With the price of comprehensive web-based SAT training being a few dollars per student per year, there’s really NO EXCUSE for any organization – large or small – for not having such a program.
