But, the reason I constantly bash this into e-learning vendors heads is this just DON’T GET IT. 35 tablets by the end of Q2 2011, on top of the 30+ already in the market. Plus the iPad. HTML5 will be available on every one of those tablets, plus they will offer Flash (notable exception the iPad).

In 2011, I saw quite a few items that resonated. They involved talent management, “hello and goodbye” with vendors, social learning, upswing in mobile learning, new feature sets in the authoring tool space, flat lining in web conferencing and standalone platforms. Social Learning. Total stagnation.

Case in point, one vendor who had a RFP on their site, for anyone to download, had statements in there – that truly applied to their product.

Several more of the Tier 2/Tier 3 LMS vendors also “tossed their hat in the ring” (or towards it anyway) announcing some way of publishing content so it could appear via a mobile browser on the iPhones , iPads and Android device trying to capture a few of their most “loyal fans” in learning land. Validated (“Grand Slam Homer”).
