BT is the world’s oldest communication company, once upon a time they provided British households with a landline but today they provide customers so much. Given the company’s relationship with technology, it is logic that they have been innovate in using technologies to assist their own staff train and their CPD (continuing professional development) skills.

This video introduces us to the BT 'Dare2share' project, a Podcasting site for peer to peer learning and training. The site allows short videos, audio files, blogs, RSS feeds, discussion threads as well as documents to be share with BT staff located across the UK.

I really like the idea of how quickly training can be rolled out among teams; it is an interesting and fun way in which to learn. Not all BT engineers will be attracted to the idea of a stuffy classroom, Dare2share gives them that opportunity to learn from different styles and actually contribute themselves.

Have a watch and see what you think for yourself...
