The new e-learning course was produced by KM Institute by capturing a live class recently delivered by Dr. Anthony Rhem, with additional content and interactive "checkpoints" to keep the learner focused.

The online course is one of several KM-related programs tied to CKS Certification (Certified Knowledge Specialist in Information Architecture) by KM Institute.

The course is ideal for all Info Arch, Enterprise Architecture, Taxonomy and content managers; anyone tasked to build or improve the structural design (and outcome) of shared environments in the workspace.

"We are very excited to launch this new online program with Dr. Rhem," says Eric Weidner, VP of Business Development for KMI.  "Dr. Rhem brings a practical approach to a topic that can be perceived by some as too technical, yet it's something that's crucial for most content managers to grasp and understand."  Weidner adds, "He has a way of relating to our students and breaking down those misconceptions."

"I've had an enjoyable time teaching IA to a great group of professionals, and it's been a pleasure working with the KM Institute," says Dr. Rhem.  "The exchange of ideas, specific problems and product demonstrations were invaluable.  The IA class provides real guidance on applying IA from a tool agnostic point of view.  I think the participants found the class Interactive, informative and productive."

The new "Certified Knowledge Specialist - Info Arch" combines the Info Arch Master Course (now online) with KMI's online "foundation" course – the core of all KMI Certification.  The Master Course includes a "deep dive" into IA background, methods and case studies. 

Next Info Arch Certification class is planned for Washington DC, March 22-23.
