eLearning has been around for quite some time now, but now more than ever is it essential to the future of business, in more ways than one. It doesn’t matter what industry an organization is in, they all have the two same objectives: Increase revenue. Decrease cost. Any organization that can do these two things successfully is going to find itself in the black and well ahead of their competition.

Adobe eLearning Suite 6 is starting to generate quite a lot of buzz. I for one am eager to see Adobe’s reaction to the highly supported Articulate Storyline. Let’s face it, Articulate has raised the bar a bit, so Adobe really needs to make a splash with this one. For the uninitiated, Adobe eLearning suite is actually a package of different programs all geared towards enhancing eLearning creation.

A few days ago we administered a quick poll to those interested in the WordPress LMS project. The one question poll asked users to indicate how they would prefer to WPLMS to be offered: as a one-time download vs. a hosted solution. The reason behind this poll was to get a better idea of what people want. Below are the results: 325 responses. 76% prefer to download the LMS. 24% prefer WPLMS to host/customize the LMS.

Today I came to realize that much of the literature out there today regarding learning management systems is often written from the “utopia” perspective, rather than the practical. What I mean by this is that many of the descriptions and suggestions for LMS implementations are good in theory, but often nearly impossible to pull off. This isn’t to say that consultants should not strive to implement a robust LMS with a central interactive component to their culture – but they should be realistic.

Any instructional designer knows the importance of having a quality screen capture tool available at the click of a button. For years, the gold standard for this software has been Snagit by Techsmith. In all honesty, they really have put together quite an amazing product, so if you have the means to do so, I would highly recommend investing in their product.

What is the difference between a course management system and a learning management system (LMS)? Which one do you use and when? The difference is subtle between these two options, but knowing the difference will better enable an organization to level-set their continued learning needs. First, the term “course management system” may not be familiar to most, and it is often used in the same respect as a learning management system.
