LearnShare is a consortium of non-competing companies that share training expertise and innovative practices. Evolving the concept of a collaborative approach to training, LearnShare combines the best training practices and programs of the partners with leading-edge distance learning technology. The result provides LearnShare members electronic access to proven training materials and enables them to participate in and benefit from research and development opportunities in multimedia and distance learning practices. This paper highlights: (1) background on LearnShare, including the consortium's benefits, goals, and vision; (2) LearnShare processes, including its evolution, organizational structure, research objectives, and technologies used; (3) impact, including critical success factors, objectives that would reduce members' capital investment, and information contained in quarterly reports; and (4) LearnShare as a model for future instructional design, development, and delivery.
