Its nearly Halloween and with that comes the shocking and fearful excitement or lack thereof of the scariest things on the plane appearing at the movie theaters, in costumes, television and for us, the course authoring tool market. Compare the authoring tool market with the LMS space and you can clearly see the difference.

Global markets. Often misleading in a vendor’s pitch is that they are truly global, when in fact nothing could be farther than the truth. Many vendors service multi-conglomerates that are international, rather than companies that are based only in country x and no where else. It makes sense. A smart move.

I recall a large, global healthcare insurance company who griped that their LMS did not support the company’s computers. Because the company was using Windows 2000 (in 2012 no less) and the LMS vendor did not support Windows 2000. Did the insurance company’s lead tell the vendor what they were using?

The problem is that many LMS vendors either don’t know what it is, never ask people or tell them about its on/off synch capability with mobile devices (key for learning – tablets), especially the iPad (which dominates the market). Global tablet sales will exceed 450 million units by 2016 (Business Insider).

Out in 2000. Boo.com (fashion apparel), 135M in funding, out of biz in 2000. . And it reminds of me of the years of 1998-2000, when the dot.coms seemed to be on fire too, only to crash and burn. This is because any vendor/platform/system could provide micro-learning since the start of the LMS space in the late 90’s.
