The short answer is quality. The result is a smorgasbord of low-quality eLearning. Entrepreneurs quickly saw the potential for profit and course libraries like Lynda.com , CBT Nuggets , and Skillsoft sprung up with massive content offerings. In the race to have “some of everything,” many MOOC providers have opened their doors to “eLearning fast-food” – cheap, low-quality, and mass-produced with no educational value. Length: 876 words.

Vendors can’t buy their way onto these lists. In fact, there is no cost to participate and no way vendors can influence the outcome directly. We won’t even confirm if we’re considering a vendor for recognition. Most importantly, we aren’t swayed if a vendor is offended by their position (or lack of position) on the final list. Feedback from current and former employees of these vendors. Skillsoft – Percipio. MORE

Too many times I find that when talking about content, 3rd party content providers, content driven strategies from learning system vendors (which is quite hot) and marketplaces place more of a general approach to buying and pushing it. Leadership, Business Skills, Safety, Compliance-related, Software, Coaching and Software skills. It is weird on how brand names from a content standpoint is a key driver in choosing who is going to be with that learning system vendor. MORE

We have spent the last two years interviewing hundreds of global learning technology professionals on both the vendor and practitioner sides of the fence. We ask them all about business drivers, trends, market opportunities, use cases, demand, competition and measurable successes. Today, based on our recent survey of 75 LMS vendors, 37% of LMS vendors offer an instant free trial of their LMS directly from their website without speaking to a sales professional. MORE

Another vendor has one-page articles if you will, where learners print out and use. If you buy through a content marketplace on an LMS, LEP or other types of learning systems, the advantage is that the vendor (LMS for example) is responsible for putting it onto your system, and responsible for making sure it is updated (again, laugh here), and adding new content (again, assuming you bought it). First off, this vendor houses it on their own servers, not on the LMS. MORE

Trends at the show – vendor wise, some real surprises, some not. . As I hit the floor, I saw only a couple of vendors. .

The Alternative Vendors of Learning. As in years past, there are plenty of vendors in the e-learning world who love to call themselves anything but an LMS. “We are the anti-LMS”, “Non-LMS”, “Knowledge Learning Platform”, “Training Management System”, “Neuroscience learning platform” and so on and so on. . A vendor can call themselves whatever they want if it makes them happy or sad too, I guess. MORE

Maybe you purchased it via Open Sesame, or Skillsoft. Maybe you scored it via Wiley, but in many possibilities you purchased the content thru your LMS vendor. It’s much easier than say going directly to the content provider, buying it from them and then having them talk to your LMS vendor to put it in for you (which, honestly you should do, because it will save you money). This isn’t the fault of Open S, rather it is just well, a reality of the business. MORE

Nowadays thanks to the growth of Learning Engagement Platforms, whereas content is a requirement – an essential no less, LMS vendors are jumping head first into the content marketplace that is viewable by all clients (rather than pitching the content via the phone or other comm method).

If you were say a vendor who at one time did only video overlays, and now you are in essence a VLP (with feature sets you will find in an LMS who has solid analytical data), that should say something. Analyticals and reporting (quality and quantity). MORE
