Continuing on from my earlier posts: LMS Selection Presentation Reformulated LMS Selection Team and Stakeholders LMS Selection Process From several comments and from looking at my list of issues, I realize that writing a good LMS RFP is challenging and it's easy to make lots of mistakes.

Steve Wexler from the eLearningGuild's research group just helped me get into some interesting data around Team Size and Time during an Learning Management System Selection and Implementation process. So, this post will end off the series of posts I was doing on LMS Selection as a precursor to my DevLearn presentation.

As I discussed in my post LMS Selection Process , I'm preparing for my part of an upcoming session at DevLearn on LMS Selection as part of The Learning Management Systems Symposium. In my previous post I presented my high-level LMS Selection Process. Thanks to everyone who has already contributed.

I saw a post by Bryan Chapman discussing how long it takes to select an LMS. And he and I do a lot of LMS selection and implementation work. I put out some of that data in my post - LMS Team Size and Time - Wow 23 Months! Learning Strategy Defined? This is a common LMS Selection Gotcha. Where does this come from?

I had seen this paper ( Social software: E-learning beyond learning management systems ) before, but Jay Cross's take on the implications of the paper in LMS, we hardly knew ye is interesting: LMS create a walled garden in an era when walls are falling down. Does a Learner WANT an LMS?

Recently I posted on Learning Materials asking the question - What Goes in the LMS? Should go in the LMS - Only finished content. Learning paths: some competencies require that content is presented in a specific order, an order that could be hardly reproduced in informal learning by learners without direct guidance.

Some interesting thinking going on by Lee Kraus and Mark Oehlert around where the LMS is going to need to go if we really are going to allow for small content chunks that can be quickly accessed. I personally think that the LMS is quickly being relegated to longer, developmental activities and compliance activities.

They have an LMS but not an LCMS. And they currently manage all of this using what I’ve seen at a lot of companies: network drives, naming conventions, some SharePoint. They also handle asset management, but I really have not been seeing the kind of large scale adoption of LCMS products for that purpose.

I’m not quite sure that I buy the article’s contention that: The simple fact is that university lectures never worked that well in the first place – it’s just that for centuries, we didn’t have any better option for transmitting information. Maybe that’s because I’ve learned a lot in schools that way.

While I work a lot with LMS products (including Saba) and believe that they are really great for may things, I also find that they can easily become a barrier. For example, what if I just want to put up some quick-hit information. I'm not going to put it under the LMS. A good company, but an obvious bias. Now here's the reality.
