Mzinga is the result of a merger between KnowledgePlanet and Shared Insights at the end of 2007. My more recent contact at Mzinga is Dave Wilkins. I spoke with Dave via email about what Mzinga is doing with social media. Q: What social media tools is Mzinga incorporating into their LMS?

Mzinga is clearly targeted at the learning space, being integrated with an LMS. Vignette’s story about building on their core content management system supporting knowledge management makes sense from the point of view of mining value out of the discussions.

is about informal learning, but the organization was moving to using social networking tools to scaffold their move from face-to-face to more online learning. So I was asked to talk about social networking and formal learning.

What is the form of informal learning? More complex solutions look like marriage matching (eHarmony), action planning solutions (large retailer), marketing support tools (large financial services). However, there's Communities / Social Networking and LMS Merger announcement around Mzinga. Yet the projects are sparse.

The need for informal learning continues to grow and likewise the ability to easily access it or contribute to it will improve. Successful LMS’s will be modeled after the way people are sharing and accessing information today. Thanks to Sue, from a fellow upstate New Yorker! Generation21. GeoLearning. Meridian KSI.

By way of background, Jeff told me that OutStart has two flavors: Participate, their general social software solution and TrainingEdge.com, their SaaS solution which includes LMS, collaborative authoring, and social media specifically configured to support learning. Each has very different objectives. Thanks Jeff! Generation21.
