What is TechShorties?
For the past several months, I've been developing a Learning Management System (LMS) for TechShorties.com. We teach real estate agents how to use tools like Twitter and Facebook to cultivate relationships rather than simply tweeting out their listings or talking about their next "open house."
We're calling our LMS the TechShorties Integrated Learning Environment (ILE). Based on WordPress, the interface features multiple modules (i.e. WP categories) filled with lessons on best practice use of online social media tools.
I've programmed the single post pages to only display a user's comments. In other words, this lets users leave themselves notes on each post. For discussion of the posts/lessons, I've added a plugin which automatically creates a forum posting in our integrated phpBB install.
There's much more to say about this, but for now the video above gives a good introduction to TechShorties and our WordPress Powered Integrated Learning Environment.
