When looking at the state of the authoring tool space, two words come to mind. Bewildered on what is happening, why what is needed isn’t appearing as it should, and how is it possible that something so obvious based on where e-learning is heading, mobile is pushing and future tech is inspiring is lost among so many vendors?

Some vendors won’t use SCORM because it takes time to add and implement it. The idea was that you have content in SCORM and add it to your learning system that accepts SCORM, and tada, it works without any problems or issues. Recently, I sat down (virtually) with Paul Schneider, Ph.D., It stuck at 1.2

Too many people focus on features now, and on top of that, what the vendor says is coming. . There are vendors who focus on quality of a specific client segment, rather than mass.

In a way, that is what is occurring in the learning system space today. I would love to tell you that nobody is paying outrageous fees for the privilege of buying a learning system. In the early months of 2022, many vendors are surpassing that. A band for most vendors was 1,000 to 5,000 end users for example, now?

This has always been a challenge with various vendors, especially today, where turnkey (out of the box) is the standard, a few tweaks included, and thus implementation times are very short (a plus). Thus, you could buy the system, and get it ready, then start working with Helium. What about other vendors? The Benefit?

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. Do you think they care?

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. Vendors use it to refer to online courses/content. On top of that, they misspell it – the term is e-learning. It has always been e-learning.
