It’s the yearly review of the ASTD International Conference and Expo. First off, this part is going to sound like I’m bashing ASTD, and perhaps to a degree I am. If you were a volunteer to ASTD, this is not about you – it is solely about ASTD. ASTD bags – always nice. Read all about it.

With great anticipation I entered the huge expo at ASTD International show earlier this week. Lots of vendors, lots of potential. There were vendors that had nice LMSs and cool features. It just wasn’t me thinking this, I heard it from attendees and even other vendors who were trolling the floor. Mobile Learning.

Mobile Learning. LMSs – Finally vendors took notice. Sadly though many still are in the dark on true mobile learning – i.e. not accessing their platform via a mobile web browser. Authoring Tools – With only a small sample of vendors that are SaaS based, pickings are slim.

Vendors are assessing as well. ASTD TechKnowledge. The show is solely focused on e-learning and the vendors come from all over the world. On the vendor side, nice set to select from although on the freebie side – always is lame. Vendor Angle. A must for any e-learning vendor.

Options 1) Go on Linkedin and post the question about the vendor and ask for feedback, good or bad. Place the question in numerous training groups – say ASTD National, eCube (excellent source for e-learning folks), etc. M-Learning and a camp who believes something… M-Learning means mobile learning.
