Their approach in their custom development is quiet and classy. Yalms: these folks are offering the ‘post-LMS’ It’s not an LMS, and instead offers course management, hosting, and tracking. Don’t confuse them with an LMS; they’re beyond that! Then it pushes them out on a schedule.

The general claim is that they augment an LMS, not replace it. The hype is a concern: microlearning for instance (in one article that referred to the afore-mentioned in-the-moment video, glossing over that you may learn nothing from it and have to access it again). It appears several LMS companies are now calling themselves LXPs.

Do you develop too? Do you administer the LMS? We can be an instructional designer, or a learning experience designer, or an instructional technologist. The problem, as Jane Bozarth raised in a column , is more than just this, however. The list goes on. I think we need to perhaps have multiple job titles.

In addition to some great thoughts on my presentation for the Innovations in eLearning Symposium, and my workshop at the mLearn Conference, I thought about LMS and social media. The learning organization role would be then one of facilitating this process of developing roles, competencies and curricula.

Now, I talked about a number of things, including vendors, total cost of ownership, tradeoffs, and the development process, but I also included the following diagram attempting to capture the layers of systems that support tools, and both formal and informal. Does this make sense?

We’ve become self-deluded that an LMS and a rapid elearning tool means you’re doing something worthwhile, when it’s profoundly wrong. What technologies will have the greatest impact on learning in the next decade? What new skills will professionals need to develop to support learning in the future?

Whether it’s simulations/scenarios/serious games, spaced learning delivered via mobile, or user-generated content (note: I’m deliberately avoiding the LMS and courses ;), these things should play a role in preparing the audience to optimally execute and being accessed by a large proportion of the audience.

While my colleagues in the ITA and I are railing against the LMS as a complete solution for organizational performance (and the vendors rally back with their move beyond course management with social and portal capabilities, to be fair), one overriding cry is heard: “but we have to do compliance!&# And, yes, they do.

The prevailing attitude of this extreme view is that the Enterprise Social Network is the natural successor to the LMS, and it’s going to come from operations or IT rather than L&D. And, given that I’m on record suggesting that we revolutionize L&D rather than ignoring it, it makes sense to justify why.

Our first move was, of course, to purchase an LMS. A good LMS is like a fine automobile, with lots of capabilities to handle all conditions. We found out that some years ago a competency modeling exercise had been done, so we were able to populate the LMS with the roles, and the associated competencies.

And what amazing developments we have seen! There are lots of examples of the old approaches, the tools and practices are aligned with bad learning practices, the shared metrics reflect efficiency instead of effectiveness, … the list goes on. And, ultimately a learning culture will be necessitated.

Dave Wilkins , who I admire, has taken up the argument for the LMS in a long post , after a suite of posts (including mine ). I earlier made two points: one is that the LMS can be valuable if it has all the features. Or if you need the LMS features as part of a larger federated suite. IOL – Intra-Organizational Learning.

And the tasks should eventually get back to the same type of artefact, developing those 21 C skills about different representations and ways of working. The model is designed more for a long-term learning experience than a one-off event model (which we should be avoiding anyways). It’s a first draft, and I welcome feedback!

For instance, rapid elearning tools make it easy to take PPTs and PDFs, add a quiz, and toss the resulting knowledge test and dump over to the LMS to lead to no impact on the organization. I’ll suggest it’s not massive consumption of heinous chemicals, but instead think that we might want to look to our tools and methods. Oh, the horror!

So, for instance, an LMS’s core affordance is managing courses. You might be able to do course management with a spreadsheet and some elbow grease, or you can mimic video with a series of static shots (think: Ken Burns) and narration, but the purpose-designed tool is likely going to be better. There are tradeoffs.

I was pinged on LinkedIn by someone who used the entrée of hearing me speak in next week’s Learning Solutions conference to begin discussing LMS capabilities. In Revolutionize Learning & Development , I argue for a Performance & Development ccosystem. However, can an LMS be a full solution?

For me, that would be having a personal mentor traveling with me, looking at my tasks, providing both support in the moment, and developing me slowly over time. I also talked about this model as Layered Learning. That is, layering on learning across our life. Go ahead, I’ll wait. And feel free to share! What would it look like?

The argument starts with making the case that it’s about what user goals are, and then figuring out how to get there in ways that systematically develop users’ capability while managing their expectations. And she nicely lays out learning science and motivation research as practical implications.

The situation is that this person is the support for an LMS across multiple geographic locations. That is, what is the LMS’s underlying model, and how does it lead you to predict how to do x, y, and z. Don’t just worry about getting them the basics, and develop them as practitioners, even into experts, as well.
