It’s not a typical word that comes up when you decide to purchase whatever type of learning system, whether it is an LMS, LXP, Learning Platform, Talent Development Platform, Employee Dev Platform (a tiny market, but it exists), or whatever a vendor spins their learning system as. Send to the vendors.  Yet it is there.

It's been a long time, and, man, it was really good to be back in person with my L+D peeps at the Learning Guild's Learning Solutions 2022 (#LSCon).

As a vendor said to me, a few weeks ago, they see more and more people just uploading content, all types of content, not necessarily courses built by 3rd party authoring tools. Vendors push it still for learning and training. and I see upload content/courses – you should trust that the person can figure this out.

I came away with a few points – I should note that in the early panel session, where I posted the question, one person was from a university and an expert, and the rest were AI experts across the board. One Learning System vendor told me they hired a consultant to provide them with a recommendation for the LLM they should use.

Oh, and not the first vendor I’ve seen this route, but that was more than a decade ago. There are vendors who pitch they have it, and there are folks who oversee L&D who still believe in it. ROI sounds good, it is widely used, but it doesn’t make you into a business partner. And what can show those data points?

Depending on how the vendor pitches it, will get you quite excited because it sounds so much like a pay-per-user aspect based on monthly use. Here is how it works: Vendor says how many “active users” will be in the system in a given month? The vendor goes thru their whole approach, and I listen.

The majority of vendors will continue, regardless of what you espouse. Now, if you want employee learning only, and you go to a vendor who only does customer training, then the initial “use case” rejection (politely) is understandable. The vendor is Skill Jar. The vendors really need to know more about the use case.

The problem though is that the person has never played that position before. It takes dedication, and while there is no guarantee that the person will ever achieve success, yet they still go for it, because the other option is being released, not making the team – thus getting cut.

When it comes to selecting a headset or microphone, it will often come down to personal preference. Personally, I prefer boom microphones built into the headset since I think the boom keeps your mouth a consistent distance from the microphone. It is a small 10x10 and the sound is consistent. What it makes your head sweaty.

Questions – Each learning system vendor was asked a series of questions. I recognize that not everyone – i.e. vendor has the funds to invest heavily into the UI/UX, and thus I put that into context when reviewing a system. Here is the take vendors love to say, 1. Based on their responses, points were awarded.

That’s what the LMS vendors want you to believe ;)! However, it’s also known that sometimes that goes to the manager, not the person who’ll actually be doing the work! So if someone creates an appealing categorization that promises utility, hey that sounds like a good investment. Customers want training.

It was clear that not even LXP vendors (as a whole) knew – which explained why they targeted L&D, ignoring the other monster in the room, training. On top of all that, the LXP vendors (as a whole) pushed a false pretense that the LXP was vastly different than say an LMS. One of my favorite early vendors was GeoLearning.

Sure in some cases it did poorly, but it wasn’t because the idea wasn’t sound, it was due to the way the learning was presented. As with anything related to the learning system space, it is what the client – the customer wants to use the system for, and not necessarily what the LMS vendor (in this case) is pushing.

Your ability to evolve with it really relies on your vendor’s ability to integrate and stay current. How can you evaluate a vendor through this lens?
