Last week I asked Can the ‘big LMS’ break clear of formal training? - I wanted to know whether Saba, one of the most successful of the big LMSs, could reinvent itself to accommodate informal learning. There is some overlap: both types of platforms can deliver resources and both can support certain types of learning activities.

Yesterday eLearning Guild announced their Member's Choice Awards for Learning Management Systems (LMS). Award for market share - Education and Government Learning Management Systems - Gold award: Moodle (the Platinum went to Blackboard). Perhaps they use an LMS and a VLE.

I've been reflecting on John Norman's presentation which he made at the eLearning Network event New models for learning management on September 25. John is from Cambridge University where he has been engaged in the development on the virtual learning environment Sakai 3.

As someone who uses Moodle as a tool to support blended learning projects for several of my corporate clients, I was interested to hear Mark Tointon's speak at the recent eLearning Network showcase about some new add-ons for Moodle which are specifically designed to support corporate use of the tool.

Use Moodle as a delivery platform, typically externally hosted, perhaps with some customisation. Smaller companies don't need full LMS functionality, so Moodle (perhaps with some extra goodies) will do this job adequately. I know there are free authoring tools, but even small companies can afford a few software licenses.

This service is obviously going to appeal to smaller organisations who don't have an LMS, but it might also tempt some larger corporates who are either dissatisfied with their current LMS or looking for something simpler. No concession has been made to the fact that content is often only a starting point in the learning process.

I know that quite a few LMS providers are on-board but this is not enough, because in many ways products like these are truly global in scope. Can you really get a true picture of the LMS market without an appreciation of what Moodle has to offer? For this service to really take off it must first of all get buy-in from vendors.
