This is the first I've heard of the term "Learning Warehouse." The
connotation is not very attractive from a U.S. perspective, I think. A
warehouse is a place where surplus is stored. It is not usually a place
where you keep something that is used often or needs to be accessed
quickly. It also has an industrial and assembly-line imagae, which runs
against the grain of a service delivery model.
I would be interested in knowing where this term was coined, who uses it,
and in what organizational contexts.
