Someone came up with the idea of an LCMS (RIP) Community of Practice (yuck, first it went the way of the dodo bird, then has made a comeback – just like the dodo bird – which is being re-created genetically). Then Cornerstone came along and bought SumTotal for peanuts, which was a good idea, and here we are with SumTotal.

It reminds me of the days of the Community of Practice, with obviously a refresh of a better design and additional capabilities. Honestly, buying SumTotal would make more sense, but nevertheless, it is Saba. Curious to know the similarities and differences between Cornerstone and SumTotal? Best of all it is 100% Free.

First, on Monday, WebEx buys intranets.com for $45M in cash ( details ) then today SumTotal buys Pathlore for $29M in cash ( details ) and $19M in stock. Think social networking analysis, workflow learning, collective intelligence, presence awareness, expert locating, communities of knowledge (made up of smaller communities of practice).

On the other hand, while Corporate is solid, it is not as high as it should be and for the life of me, I can’t understand why COPs (Communities of Practice) are still popular. On one hand, their are some really nice learning management systems coming out of there and the embrace of e-learning exists, especially in education.
