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.

Vendors can move up, down or out of the rankings – after all it is on-going. I’m not a lead gen for the vendors listed – rather the goal is to provide you with vendors that meet numerous criteria including UI, features, support/service, mobile, feedback from current and past clients and future game plans. 9 Absorb LMS.

The people who suffer the most from this contradiction are the consumers and a vast majority of vendors. While mobile learning is moving at an incredible speed, faster than anticipated by some of my colleagues, it does not come without a cost.

It is a necessity to identify the vendor that is going to provide you with the best system for your solution. It is a time saver, but pulling down a RFP, especially if it comes from a vendor’s site (even if that is not the vendor you are going to submit it to), can define your approach, without you even realizing it.

When it comes to the e-learning market, specifically the LMS space (and you can toss in LCMS, CMS, Learning Portals as well), there are a lot of traps that customers fall into and can’t get out. Sometimes it is a result of the vendor, other times it is a failure of due diligence on the part of the soon to be customer.

Normally, I wouldn’t provide a specific breakout, say Big Dog or Small Dog, but people ask me whom I like or dislike, etc. Please remember for TM or as some vendors like to pitch as “performance management or knowledge management&# , the modules are extra and are not part of the system (at least for now).

Vendors such as Edmodo, enables teachers at various schools across the world to communicate with each other. If I am new to management, why only enable them to communicate and learn from within, when they can (and most likely do so via social media) communicate and learn from others, outside your company?

For myself, I really enjoyed the social learning platform and select apps capabilities, more so then using it as a LMS. Don’t get me wrong, the LMS provides enough features and abilities, including the most common features, that if you want a LMS, it will work. But the real WOWSA is in the social learning component.

Across the board, a large number of vendors (from small to large) saw increases in their quarter numbers.

When they hit stride, other vendors take notice and soon, the lemming revolution begins. You do not want to switch, but your current LMS, doesn’t have the social learning or any social learning features I need or want. 2011 will show profitable gains for a large portion of vendors across the sector.

Indeed, many traditional eLearning vendors ventured into the market though not in the volume or with the fanfare we had postulated twelve months ago. As predicted, the methods and tools needed for mobile content authoring and delivery also matured a generation or two over the “season” and a few new use cases for mobile learning appeared too.
