Majority of employees access a LMS or Learning Portal out of the workplace. Now, why doesn’t a vendor mention this information to a potential client, at least the first point – I can understand holding off on the second point, for selling purposes. Greater than 90% send out links to information.

Certainly with the rise of rapid e-Learning tools and the increase in SME-published content well start to see an increase in the frequency of updates to e-Learning material.

I have seen over 150 systems, 80 plus authoring tools, dozens of web conferencing products, mobile learning, quiz assessment tools, CMSs and learning portals, and not everyone of them meets those two statements. Learning Management Systems, LCMS, Learning Portals. The worst of the offenders.

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. The vendor’s salesperson tells you want you want to hear. And yes, there are times it is both parties.

As more and more people are gaining experience working with LMSs, they are seeking another level for analyzing information. Advanced analytics for administrators. Actually it makes total sense. We often focus on the end user side first and foremost for functionality and forget the administration side. Consumers are saying – no more.

Some common traits include: Broadway Effect: Front end looks too busy, end users cannot figure out what to click, where to go, what to avoid – lots of information, flashiness, overload of the senses. Yet, in working towards achieving the mass features path, usability often takes a hit.

I am glad to see more vendors responding by e-mail, especially when they require you to fill in the “more information” form on their site, and include your e-mail address. At one time, even requiring your e-mail address, resulted in them calling you and not e-mailing you. Combination.

Do they have any reports dedicated for the e-commerce functionality? As you can see, just saying e-commerce is not enough. Drilling down, will provide you with additional information you need to ask and know, and as a result, even when looking at a potential vendor’s site, you will be able to see what they offer in this area.

It is easy to get overwhelmed with the information going back and forth, and thus it is common to forget some questions you were going to ask. Asking the right questions will help you enormously when it comes to finding the right system, before you go into the demo. Having a list of questions prepared ahead of time, is a good way to go.
