Josh Bersin (and colleagues) identify "a new breed of platforms" called Capability Academy systems. "They are designed to build skills-based capability academies; they group large audiences into small cohorts; and they integrate with content with live events, assignments, collaboration, mentors, and experts. And they can deliver all this at scale." I'm not seeing exactly how all this (except the name) is new. Still, the article explains, "We offer dozens of 4-6 hour courses (each consumed in cohorts), we host thousands of supporting videos and articles, we have more than 30 Senior Faculty, and our social community is a 'place' to learn." All this seems to me to resemble learning communities. Still, this article expands on the concept and runs through a list of companies providing these platforms. Far more interesting to me, though, are distributed networks that provide access to all these contents and services.
