Are there vendors in the e-learning space who lack basic understanding around e-learning?

It’s time again for the annual Talented Learning LMS Awards! The Talented Learning Awards are not a money-making affair for us. Vendors can’t buy their way onto these lists. In fact, there is no cost to participate and no way vendors can influence the outcome directly. Because in truth, it depends!

The hiccups were along the lines of slower than anticpated adoption of data visualization, and sluggishness of LRS too, which although I thought wouldn’t be fast, I was surprised how bad it really was from within an LMS. Regardless, if you want into the space, and are not seeking LMS route, I’d go here. Big time.

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.

The IMS Global Learning Consortium has announced the release latest version of the IMS Learning Tools Interoperability Specification – Version 1.1.

Following this narrative, Brandon Hall affirmed the continued usefulness of the LMS for covering “core learning management functionality.” This meant buyers didn’t have to choose between the LXP and LMS; they could well find they needed both.

This leaves us in a position where we know who we are training, we know what we are training them in and how that training is to be delivered as an experience, but we do not have a platform in place that can manage this delivery for us. They don’t have to worry about manually managing learners. But an LMS can be so much more.

From the learning system and learning technology standpoint (and yes, I see a difference) the PE or VC firm is the one to go to when you seek capital or seek to be acquired. They are the ones that many vendors still today, hear from, to gauge whether or not said vendor is interested in being acquired or receiving funding.

Another option you can do – is to contact the vendor directly within the platform. No need to open more tabs or have to bounce around – it is all there – in the vendor’s playlist. Interview with one of the top Private Equity firms that regularly plays in the e-learning space. Should be fun.
