Our Field of Dreams

We have all heard the movie saying “If you build it they will come”, from Field of Dreams. Everyone on the LearningZen team has also heard this soft whispering in our ears. We have seen the vision and dreamed dreams of a revolutionary e-Learning site. We have believed that there is purpose, meaning, and a great need for this type of platform. We have plowed under our metaphorical corn field and built a first-class learning site that is now ready for users.



Although there may be people that rebuff and question the investment of building LearningZen, we can see the users (players) on the LearningZen ball field already. Can you see them? Our users are emerging from the surrounding corn field of e-Learning products, most of which are difficult to use, very costly, and don’t provide the needed value to their users. Our users are enjoying the youthfulness of the game, creating learning content easily and effortlessly, without being hampered by the limitations of other LMS products.



This quote from Terence Mann in the move speaks directly to me at this time:

"Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come."



Come revive your past hope of an easy-to-use e-Learning site! Realize the content creation peace that you have been lacking! Come dip yourself into the magic waters of LearningZen!
