CBT Prior to online learning known then as WBT, and then the latter term of e-learning (vendors today, use it to refer to content that is online), there was CBT. CBT was the “new” and exciting way to learn. It’s called online learning for a reason, because it is via the internet – online.

Video learning platforms. The ability to shoot video with your smartphone/tablet, webcam or another device and then upload it into a platform is revolutionary, especially when the end user can type in “dog” for example and the video will go to each point “dog” is said. . #21 Panopto.

For the past month, I have been conducting a survey on learning platforms and specifically learning management systems. .

Extended Enterprise – aka Multi-Tenet, Portals-Sub Portals. If you want an EE, you will want e-commerce. The reality is vendors have a script if you will, that they follow – it makes sense, because they do not know your e-learning level, knowledge level on LMSs, etc., E-Learning 24/7.

You could count on your hand the number of vendors even looking at it, and I’m not just talking LMSs/Learning Portals, but content authoring tools and other products.
