You did not do your due diligence about the vendor, but rather just looked at their web site. You most likely did not see a demo. That if you spoke with the vendor, it was a quick phone call and cursory information was provided on both ends – you and the vendor. A demo will be your lifesaver in all this.

You will not forget them when you view a demo, nor when you are looking at the company’s web site or literature. I often hear people say they want mobile learning in their solution, social learning, e-commerce, but when you ask for specifics they sometimes have a blank stare on their face. Specifics. Always after.

LMS vendors who had a significant number of leads – amazing when you consider the show typically brings quite a large contingency of ILT folks. Lots of giveaways for iPads, Kindle Fire – etc. Some angle to game based learning – either an app or actual product. Social Learning. If not, demand one.

User name: E-Learning. Password: (case sensitive): demo. I recommend that rapid content authoring tool vendors must begin to start developing this capability. There are rumors that at least one vendor is working on such a solution. E-Learning 24/7. Click HTML5 course. To see the power of HTML5.

As before, please excuse text line space funkiness – WordPress app on iPad. Of course you had to sit down and go through the presentation/demo of Presenter – but still – nice one. However there were plenty of vendors who had — NOTHING. I loved the lip synch of that tune. I focused on the more robust.

Video in e-learning means something quite different than video in its usual term. Screen recording and capture – often seen in demos or software or web tutorials. M-Learning support – all devices including iPad and other tablets. Grab your Video. Screen recording and capture with audio narration.

The customer who is asked to provide the information – is providing it – honestly; in many cases, they may be unaware of what a case study really is – in terms of “marketing&# from the vendor’s approach. Trap #4 Demo Time! My personal favorite and wow, it is used a lot by vendors.

Acceptance that tablets are here to stay, especially the iPad and that end users will access content more so, then with a smartphone (Still waiting though for a vendor who is 100% pure tablets or a mix of PGP -Portable Game Players – and tablets). Thank you for having demos without requiring someone to register.
