Really Big
Think Big.
Yesterday I had lunch with Jinlei Ni, the former CEO of China's Beida-Online.
You've may have heard how China's telephone system leapfrogged poles and wires, heading from zero to cell phones with no intermediate stops.
Business in China is going through the roof, making almost unimaginable gains. Workers at all levels need business skills. Think of eLearning as the cell phone. Imagine leapfrogging instructors, classrooms, and chalk talks.
We may form a community of practice to tackle the challenge. Drop me an email if you'd like to be kept informed.

I am an experienced, certified etc. etc. IT trainer from Europe (Geneva, Switzerland)
One could imagine a smallish group of people with different skill sets (and nationalities) offering "bundled services" for a determined period of time in China (for ex. 6 months)
For ex.
1 network guru
1 Exchange Server guru
1 telecommunications specialist
1 trainer
1 chinese person who can help with language and cultureal differences...
When leaving China, complete the whole thing with on-line e-learning/support documentation etc. for longish-term support so as not leave the new users stranded
The ultimate idea is, of course, to have the Chinese people take care of themselves... but once a relationship is established, there are always more business possibilities later
Although one talks business and money, I have an ethical framework which I would absolutely want to maintain, cooperating - and leaving a good impression.
Such a mission could be fun and enriching for all concerned !
Best regards from Geneva.
