My take is that Bridge is going the way of some LMS/Learning Platforms that pitch either the “non-traditional” angle or “focus on features” people only need angle or “simple, easy to use angle” with simple as the key word. . For mobile, the big shocker was the lack of an Android offline player. .

Sitting in a fun presentation by Kevin Oakes at DevLearn on the Rise and Fall of the LMS. He pointed back to entry of various players in the market and particularly the enterprise vendors as opposed to pure-play vendors from articles five years ago.

My last post, Direction of eLearning - Emergence or Big System , received a couple of interesting comments and I wanted to add a couple of follow-up thoughts. What often happens when systems become very complex is that they begin to get replaced by simpler systems. But that's not really what's going to replace the LMS.

Q : I am curious on why Cornerstone On Demand, Saba and SumTotal do not appear in your top twenty lists even though they appear on other sites as the best products in the market. Saba - A solid system, but IMO (in my opinion) better suited for talent/performance management. At one time Geo was a dominate player in mid size.

If a system was built using a theme from WordPress or other types of blog sites, they were removed too.
