Lectures, information dump & knowledge test, in general content presentation doesn’t lead to meaningful change in behavior in the absence of activity. We’ve invested in an LMS, that’s all we need. That’s what the LMS vendors want you to believe ;)! Further, they could be happy if that’s the case.

Steve Wexler who runs eLearningGuild research has been producing some really interesting information recently. He recently provided me some information about what learning delivery methods were being used and particularly if they were trending up or down. So here's the graph showing all of the trending information.

” So, this was a manufacturer of an LMS (and some other, related, platforms). Whether it’s authoring tools, a course management system, a portal, a web meeting tool, what have you. And, while I wasn’t surprised at the answer, I was ‘concerned’ And so should you be. Now, pass the bubbly, would you?

They had to submit an information architecture for the design week. First, the LMS interfered. Also, my grading scheme doesn’t fit into the default grading schema of the LMS anyways, so it wasn’t automatically doable anyways. And learn about the LMS earlier.

The LMS, rapid elearning tools, virtual classrooms, and of course the omnipresent F2F training sessions are the rule. The title, slightly unwieldy but capturing the necessary thoughts, has been finalized: Revolutionize Learning & Development: Performance and Innovation Strategy for the Information Age. The flaws are myriad.

The ability to stay more tightly coupled with colleagues, sharing information and collaborating, has really become mainstream in our lives, and is going to have a big impact on our organizations. The most significant change is the status quo: the belief that an information oriented event model has any relationship to meaningful outcomes.

Now, I talked about a number of things, including vendors, total cost of ownership, tradeoffs, and the development process, but I also included the following diagram attempting to capture the layers of systems that support tools, and both formal and informal. Does this make sense?

Our first move was, of course, to purchase an LMS. A good LMS is like a fine automobile, with lots of capabilities to handle all conditions. We found out that some years ago a competency modeling exercise had been done, so we were able to populate the LMS with the roles, and the associated competencies.

Coupled with our technological improvements are advances in our understanding of how we think, work, and learn. We now have recognition about how we act in the world, about how we work with others, and how we best learn. We have information age understandings that illustrate why industrial age methods are not appropriate.

Until we get around to a whitepaper or something on metrics, here’re some thoughts: Frankly, the problem with Kirkpatrick (sort of like with LMS’ and ADDIE, *drink*) is not in the concept, but in the execution. This is true whether you’re talking about formal learning, informal learning, or whatever.

We can use semantic technologies to do customized delivery of information, pulling together what we know about the learner (e.g. Social media systems will be much more integrated into the workflow, and LMS will have become just a cog in the ecosystem, not the ecosystem. This is all possible.

While my colleagues in the ITA and I are railing against the LMS as a complete solution for organizational performance (and the vendors rally back with their move beyond course management with social and portal capabilities, to be fair), one overriding cry is heard: “but we have to do compliance!&# And, yes, they do.

The fact that a Learning Management System is not a strategy still doesn’t seem to have penetrated. And so we’re similarly seeing that other business units are taking on the needs for performance support, social media, and ongoing learning. Learning design is rocket science : (or should be).

Obvious extensions I would infer from social networking would include wrapping discussion around resources (and, of course, having a way to make the resources accessible from multiple points of view, search, and other features in support of reasonable information architecture). Integration with Office is, for most business, a plus.

That is, having the tools to hand, including job aids, people, and skill development, but in a more systemic way. Would it look like an LMS over here, training away over there, job aids scattered across portals, and social networks hierarchically structured or completely banned? What would it look like?
