From 10th February, learningMatters.com features three major new resources for corporate learners.   In addition to the existing library of over 1000 Self-development, Training and Audit Activities, Echelon have teamed up with Thomson Learning to offer learners:

• free access to a Business Encyclopedia with 400 entries ranging from 'accounting' to 'zaibatsu'
• free access to a Reading Room containing Previews of a range of highly recommended management books
• a suite of corporate Case Studies on subjects such as managing risk, organizational behaviour

The principles of just-in-time use remain the same - select your activity, pop it in your shopping basket, check out via either credit card or corporate password and your activity arrives via e-mail on your desk in a couple of minutes.   Since the New Year companies have also taken to subscribing to the site and attaching it to their intranets - an instantaneous electronic learning resource centre !
