I don't consider learning for a career very important. More important is to stop for a while and get to know your inner feelings better. Learning is the same as following your inner path.

Curriculum design, teaching, travel to, and proper assessment of knowledge transfer are much, much larger isssues. for small to midsize commpanies, wikis and sharepoint do a fine job for L&D if they are already owned. opensource, where the burden of building the tool before you can use it is placed onto the customer is generally one of the last things I would recommend. time consuming. Open source is an expensive luxury that is generally used by very large companies who have the scale to play with a little bit of everything - this was the case with Linux for sure. smaller companies that possibly have super techies on staff, and small requirements, might be able to handle an opensource LMS if the concept of opensource is a fit with their greater culture. for everyone else, opensource only becomes viable when it is productized - ie Redhat for Linux... in my experience, technology for storing and serving up course content within an enterprise is not the driving force behind budget pressure.
