So, if you include Facebook like in your LMS, wouldn’t it be logical to assume that people would follow the same approach and mechanism, that they use in the actual real Facebook product? But, the reason I constantly bash this into e-learning vendors heads is this just DON’T GET IT. E-Learning 24/7.

Not that I expected it to do so, mind you, because I recognized late 2011 that it would be big. Not the products – they are still the same, but rather the “anti-” that they preach is nothing more than a previous incarnation of the past, sans the message. Just as in any product nowadays, add video, audio, media files.

If you listen to content authoring tool vendors who have added the capability of HTML5 it is easy to misunderstand what some are saying is not what you assume to be true. The assumption is that the product can output to HTML5, yet this is hardly true for the vast majority of authoring tools. Online/Offline synch.

In the first week of the semester, the number of students using mobile devices like tablets instead of computers to access the Internet, went from 22% to 71% between 2010 and 2011 (ITS). So why the delay in using mobile learning, especially with tablets in education focused LMSs? Social Learning.

Whether it is a stand alone product that comes with the authoring tool or built in (which is increasing, rather than the stand alone), this is becoming the norm. The goal of course, is a one stop shop, rather than going with an assessment tool vendor and then selecting a content authoring tool vendor. Vendors to Watch.

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. There is no reason in 2011, to use a RFP that is 20 pages or more. This will help me, when I go back and look at my notes and can visually see the product. This is a myth.

A trend that is happening in the LMS market more so than in the other e-learning markets, is the failure to follow their path of success. I am seeing many vendors whose products were built for SMB (and more aligned on the lower side of mid size companies) who are now pushing into the mid/upper mid to large size customer band.
