Knowledge, Learning, Community

It's not online learning - or is it? This video describes a firearms training session for the West Midlands Police. The whole thing is real-world similation - the officers go out to a barn, use real firearms, and face real people acting out various scenarios. Even the planning sessions are analog - witness the hand drawings on flipboard charts. So where's the e-learning? In the video, of course, and the intended audience is the wider community. It's a short interesting look into a process people know little about. That's something e-learning does really well, I think.
