Again - I would really welcome: Links to good templates or example RFPs. Suggestions on what else should go in here. 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.

As a follow on to the discussion of social learning and formal learning in Long Live … great post by BJ Schone - Have LMSs Jumped The Shark? I constantly hear people (across many organizations) complain about their learning management system (LMS). They complain that their LMS has a terrible interface that is nearly unusable. Upgrades are difficult and cumbersome. Their employees’ data is locked in to a proprietary system.

On Creating Passionate Users they had a great picture that captures how many of us feel about LMS products: As the number of features increases our satisfaction level begins to go down because of the complexity of getting it to work for us.... But, they are so dang easy to get going and use. So, they've supplanted the low-end of the market. It forces the CMS products to seek ever higher features to continue to differentiate - a vicious cycle.

I was just asked by someone about how they could test a course they were creating against a particular Learning Management System (LMS) (in this case Docent 6.5.... We don't have direct access to a version of the LMS to test on. The client's staff won't give us direct access to the LMS to run tests.

I'm preparing for my part of an upcoming session at DevLearn on LMS selection as part of The Learning Management Systems Symposium . I'm going to prepare for this in a slightly different way.... Help me make this presentation better. Please. Especially what am I missing, what will be useful for an audience of corporate learning folks who are contemplating LMS selection, what won't be useful (and I should delete). I truly need to get input or this could be a boring session - and I don't like boring sessions - see my reservations about the presentation below.

In the past, I've had a few posts around how you can test your courses under an LMS: SCORM Test Test SCORM Courses with an LMS One of the problems cited was the lack of available LMS test environments.... But still it's a great way to show people the basics of what an LMS does. And I believe you could then get your courses tested.

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...? I get the feeling that Jay and I are responding to what is happening out in the world of corporate use of LMS products and this is something I've been writing about before: LMS Dissatisfaction on the Rise Do You WANT an LMS? Does a Learner WANT an LMS?

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. I've talked about some of these problems before: LMS Dissatisfaction on the Rise Do You WANT an LMS? Does a Learner WANT an LMS?

Based on an earlier post - Tools for On-Demand Information - An LMS? , I received a couple of questions around tracking. Then today, I saw a post on TrDev about tracking without an LMS and thought I should maybe clarify what I often see as the choices around tracking: a. Click tracking b. Custom tracking c.
