Welcome to our 4th annual LMS and learning systems “Trends” post! As fiercely independent learning technology analysts, we think a trend isn’t just a fleeting idea that comes and goes like fashion, or a social media hashtag. What is a trend, anyway? And how much do trends matter? How We Define Trends.

I was surprised at the number of directories, sites noting open source “free” systems, blog posts and so on, that listed what they viewed as “free systems” tied around open source. For example, Talent LMS listed on many of these sites, is noted as free. Absorb LMS – 100% fee-based.

Surprises in E-Learning One of the biggest surprises, is that so many folks are unaware that e-learning was an umbrella term, as I noted in the History of the LMS post. On top of that, they misspell it – the term is e-learning. It has always been e-learning. Another surprise. Vendors who use it?

Can compete with any learning system out there, by the way. Extension bookmarklet is fantastic, the block widgets that appear on the top of the search engines (including Google) showing the content that aligns to what you are seeking is quite nice. Spark is their key system here, and will work for nearly everyone.

It’s that time of the year, to announce my Top 50 Learning Systems for 2020, starting off with the rankings of #50 to #40. A vendor was not required to be in my learning system search engine, FindAnLMS to be considered. Most systems in the industry target mid-market. Type of system.

If after a few years, nobody can recall your name, or remember your name or even associate your name with the type of product you are, then you need to change your name. Another percent has never heard of an LXP and some people only are aware of a brand and thus refer to the systems under the guise of that brand. Learning Experiences.

I track over 1,400 learning systems around the world. Over two dozen authoring tools and over 300 e-learning solutions – for the corporate side of the house. Granted there are always additional variables out there, and you may say, well, I need a system that can talk to me and ask me where to find the nearest Burger place.

Just as I remember those fond memories (okay, I don’t recall them, just remember seeing the ads when I was much older), I remember the day I said, there has to be more to this, when it came to seeing rankings of learning systems. Ditto for associations – trade and professional. Top 20 – been there, done that.

They continue to muddle up the learning system space. The way a 3rd party content provider works with an LXP (or any learning system that offers a marketplace) is that they have a partnership agreement – allowing the vendor to have them in their marketplace. What they are and what they are not. No difference.

I will go thru several areas for e-learning, not just learning systems, although by far, it will be the most, since a lot has happened in 2020. . Micro-Learning – Okay, I will say this one last time – micro-learning has been around for more than two decades for online learning. You desire that?

The problem today is when you surf the web, you see all these guides written by content marketers, not experts in L&D or training or learning systems or even e-learning. Always check out the learning system, ask the right questions (which is in this guide), drill them. Learning System Types.

The majority of vendors in the industry slide into the $$ to $$$ area. Ditto with HR, Training and yes – marketing, which there are plenty of systems that slide over there – as i.e. Marketing oversees the system.

This post covers what you SHOULD NOT DO when buying any type of learning system, regardless if it is an LXP, LMS, Learning Platform, SEP, DLP or even any type of talent or performance management system (for the folks who are not looking at learning, but are looking at PM or TM). Leverage that.

It does seem like such a large number, but when you realize that there are over 1,300 learning systems around the world, 85 isn’t such a big number. A built-in authoring tool is listed as an inquiry with any learning system vendor, but it a vendor doesn’t have one, they are not eliminated as a result.

E-commerce – Because Fuse is not an LXP, but rather a learning ecosystem, not having this feature set is baffling. If I was considering Fuse for customer education/partner training, or for an association, and I needed e-commerce, I’d look elsewhere. 01%, for a market that is more than 1300 systems worldwide.

Most learning vendors tout their ‘expertise in instructional design’ as a key reason as to why we should engage them to produce learning content. Not because they are wrong about social, but because they get so little right about LMS. learning is a mix of formal and informal , not one or the other. Why bash the LMS?
