Just a few years

go, web-based learning through PCs was s

en as revolutionary. Companies could put th

ir orientations and ongoing trainings on l

ne and all employees would get st

ndardized learning. Soon, with the spread of w

fi, router-based, and satellite wireless networks, p

ople could tap into this type of tr

ining while on the run. A s

lesperson could get trained in the l

test marketing presentation while riding on a pl

ne to her or his next d

stination. Or a person could get

riented to their new job from h

me before the first day they w

rk.

Now, web-based trainings have taken another st

p forward due to the technology

nvolved in internet-enabling devices besides computers. Th

re are some obvious examples of how th

s might work. For example, your TV may be c

nnected to the internet in a way th

t allows you to tune in to a tr

ining or conference as easy as ch

nging to a specific channel. You c

uld use your DVR and truly get the m

st out of the conference.

There are

lso less obvious but still valuable

xamples of the potential of internet

nabled devices. For example, an internet

nabled printer could tap into web-based tr

inings in helping you maximize the q

ality of photographs before printing them. You c

uld learn how to crop, sharpen, l

ghten, etc. your photos by having an

nline guide that directs real-time information to a n

arby computer. That web-based guide, because the d

vice is internet enabled, can actually “kn

w” what you’ve just done and d

rect you about whether that was c

rrect or not. If you have an

nternet-enabled all-in-one device, you could also l

arn how to scan and fax for m

ximum results.

There are even some far

ut, but truly interesting ways this t

chnology could be used. In the k

tchen, internet-enabled appliances could actually teach you how to c

ok as you go, sending information to a n

arby monitor about when food is d

ne, or ready for the next st

p. An internet enabled coffee maker c

uld use web-based training to help you br

w perfect coffee that responds in r

al time to the fineness of the gr

und beans, the temperature of the w

ter, or the density of the r

sulting beverage.

In all of these examples, web b

sed learning would take place in r

al time, and could lead to new sk

lls being developed. And in each

xample there is also the potential of t

pping into live help. In the f

rst example, a guide could catch you up w

th whatever you’d missed in the c

nference if you “arrive late”. In the

nternet enabled printer example, live help c

uld assist you when a document pr

sents particular difficulty – the person on the

ther end could “see” what is g

ing on in real time. In the th

rd example, a cook could teach p

ople how to cook her or his r

cipes almost like he or she is th

re – even checking the temperature and

ther information from their remote location.

Perhaps the m

st exciting aspect of web based l

arning and internet enabled technology is the

bility for people to do things t

gether even when they are far

part. Literally hundreds of people could be p

rt of a web based conference th

t helps them learn the latest

ses for an internet enabled device. Or, y

ur friend, relative, or teacher who kn

ws how to do something you d

n’t could provide you with web b

sed learning where they can see and r

act to your input on an

nternet-enabled device.
