Student, Teacher and Parent portals – It goes without saying on the student and teacher portals. Some systems stress this as super important, but teachers in general find overly active parents as irritating, especially when they blame the teacher and not their wonderful child.

For the past month, I have been conducting a survey on learning platforms and specifically learning management systems. . The data shows that what many vendors assume end users want is far from accurate. Too many vendors are focusing on talent/performance management as the next feature/component in their systems.
