On the vendor side, nice set to select from although on the freebie side – always is lame. Vendor Angle. A must for any e-learning vendor. That said, vendors have found the show overall to be a mixed bag. HR technology is coming into play more than before on the e-learning side.

Back again to bring this first in a series of rankings for the top ten learning management systems for 2013. That said, just as a reminder: Here is how these new rankings will work throughout 2013: Debut this month, update in July, final top 25 in Dec. Vendors can move up, down or out of the rankings – after all it is on-going.

The RCAT (rapid content authoring tool) market continues to be healthy with nothing to slow it down – uh, except maybe one thing (more on that later). This will become one of the biggest features in 2012 – especially with people wanting to create simulations without being an e-learning developer. Output to Facebook.

Market as a whole. Despite overall consumer demand (not just within e-learning) for tablets, and numbers showing that tablets are outselling notebooks, e-learning vendors as whole are sitting back and waiting. APIs of various social sites with Linkedin growing at a quick pace. Best example?

One vendor is focused only on SaaS products including social media. For example, a lesson topic could be on Linkedin, and each lesson tied to a specific area within Linkedin. This market continues to grow just like those New England traffic jams in about a month. E-Learning 24/7. Best of all, no ads.

It comes from me talking to vendors, buyers, monitoring the industry all the while taking notes and seeing the trends/patterns appear right before my eyes. What has always amazed me are number of e-learning vendor web sites whose design looks like it came from 1995 when Netscape ruled the land. Frankly, it is unreal.

I have been told the new UI will launch in early 2013. One of the top systems for the education market. In fact, recent surveys are showing that college students prefer SMS over e-mail notifications. Can add Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ : interesting about Linkedin – it is not that widely used by college students.
