More of a surprise is that with the exception of 6 web conferencing vendors, who have apps specifically for the iPad/iPad2 market, you can count on one hand the number of LMS/LCMS vendors that offer the same thing. AR offers amazing capabilities in e-learning, not just courses, but from a LMS/LCMS/learning platform as a whole.

Here is just a few of ones I like, that are unique and you could use in your LMS/LCMS/CMS, Learning Portal (caveat: your vendor must be able to accept APIs, otherwise it won’t work). Why would I want to have an API in my LMS/LCMS or CMS? Again, either incorporate into your LMS/LCMS/CMS or your learning portal.

As social learning continues to grow, LMS/LCMS vendors are taking various approaches. While some view themselves as “social learning&# savvy, incorporating various components, others seem to see themselves as just sitting on the sidelines. Time for these vendors to wake up, or see your audience share disappear.

Is it me or does it seem that most vendors in the LMS/LCMS market still believe that with some smoke and mirrors, you won’t realize that social media actually must be integrated into social learning for it to exist? Or do they just drop the word, “social media&# , and rather say, “social learning and web 2.0″?

LMS Vendors. I must admit I am still in a daze on some shocking data, I saw in the last few weeks (on a side note: the new and updated version of my LMS/LCMS directory will be available for download this upcoming Tuesday). 30% vendors offer at least one type of social media – from my latest LMS directory. E-Learning 24/7.

LMS/LCMS/CMS Vendors. E-Learning 24/7. If I am a TM solution or I am focusing on offering TM/PM capabilities and want to stress the integration to ERP solutions, I am going to want to make sure I include Workday. I will however be tweeting. My next new blog post will appear on November 17th, 2010.

Content topics and trending (which is really a super feature). Engagement, influence and trends (glad to see someone see the enormous value of offering this, esp. in a social learning, with excellent social media apps/widgets). So, why can’t I do it when it comes to a LMS/LCMS system? E-Learning 24/7.

Vendors are listed from all over the world. List includes Lite LMSs – which is a new trend and LMS vendors who enable you only to upload their course content i.e. content created in their products into their system. They do not allow you to use any other 3rd party rapid content authoring tool vendor.

Every year, I identify five trends that I am seeing in the industry as a whole, and forecast on where they will be heading throughout the year. LMSs/LCMS/CMS/learning platforms in commercial and open space continued their presence. Here now are five trends and their respected forecasts. Bottom Line. See you back in 2012.

LMS/LCMS/CMS Vendors. On a surf expedition the other week, I came across a LMS vendor who was not pitching their product or selling their service, but rather was providing unbiased information on tablets and how they will revolutionize e-learning. E-Learning Vendors, Giveaways and Drawings.

Several vendors have left the space, a few have entered. New trends are starting to appear – and in these two cases, they are beneficial to consumers. Vendors are hearing us and are making changes. More multilingual options to their web sites, trials and social learning.

E-Learning in General. Whether it is a mobile learning platform, authoring tool or a LMS/LCMS – TinCan will be huge. Of course the system – LMS will need to support TinCan, and right now that is few and far between. I’m talking seven alarm fire which cannot be extinguished. What is TinCan?

A trend that is happening in the LMS market more so than in the other e-learning markets, is the failure to follow their path of success. E-Commerce, support, branding, customization (to a degree). In 2011, the trend is showing that those days are gone. Bonus Trend. Mobile Learning and Tablets.

Do you see a trend here, because I do. The reality is that most clients leave for the following reasons. Your system constantly has bugs and issues. Your support and service stinks. Your UI is confusing and difficult to use. Each one of these items are fixable and each one ties into the customer experience. Bottom Line.

When it comes to the e-learning market, specifically the LMS space (and you can toss in LCMS, CMS, Learning Portals as well), there are a lot of traps that customers fall into and can’t get out. And yes, there are times it is both parties. Providing reports on the products, etc. Plus insight on what I am seeing.

If you are seeking this route, some vendors include it at no charge, the others who offer it – charge extra. Widgets – low, but growing (future blog on trends). Smart App for TV – One LMS vendor. Streaming video – low number of systems. ePub publishing . Compliance/Regulatory, work audits.

When I was looking at a LMS/LCMS vendors in the last few years, one of my first questions, “Are you SCORM 2004 or 1.2 Bad Trends. If your RCAT only outputs to SCORM 2004 and my LMS vendor only accepts 1.2, Good Trends. E-Learning 24/7. Yeah, it was great – YEARS AGO. Otherwise, L8R!
