A surprisingly number of vendors who offer some form of social learning, whether it is the minimum – a FB like page, micro-blog, even some form of app sharing or collaborative tool, do not have any social media on their site.

Vendors who fall under these two categories: Storage limits – most Lite systems. These vendors will tell you how many courses typically can be uploaded, how many audio/video files, etc. Charge by how courses you upload and use. Prepare for the Knight Storage Assault.

I have been privvy to see the inner workings of their mLearning studio, including the output of HTML5 video in a course, and it frankly is impressive.
