Small business friendly. Free, but you may need to upgrade your hosting and server plans, as well as hire a developer to fully customize the tools. Track progress, get reports, share resources, review grades, and live stream content.

That’s exactly why I enjoyed comparing notes with today’s guest, Troy Gorostiza , President & CEO of Knowledge Stream and Co-Founder of Course Container. These broader business ecosystems naturally bring opportunities to offer extended online training. In today’s economy, businesses must depend on partners, resellers, contractors and other external constituents to create value. But we really need to track specific data for training and business purposes.

If a RCAT vendor tells you they have been in business for over 10 years, they are somewhat misleading, since WBT courses really didn’t start to hit the mark until 2000 and then you have limited choices on how to build. CourseLab – ADL SCORM certified, no less. Desktop or SAAS – i.e. you either dl the software and work on it on your desktop or your server OR you access the software in the “cloud&#.

Whether you create and sell eLearning content as your core business or you provide training as part of a larger product offering, you likely spend a good deal of time and energy administering eLearning content. Since most of your courses must be SCORM compliant , you likely see no option but to directly provide your clients with proprietary training files. This allows you to build and protect a recurring revenue stream and waste less time managing contracts.

I’ve met people who had worked on the original SCORM standard, those driving the new xAPI standard, as well as early champions of our industry who coined the terms and built the original software tools. While PLATO and The Oregon Trail had planted the seed of computer based training, these new personal computers were the start of the digital revolution that would soon impact homes, schools, and businesses around the world. SCORM, and the SaaS based LMS.

According to Experience API or xAPI specification , LRS is a server that is responsible for receiving, storing, and providing access to learning records. A SCORM-compliant LRS can capture data such as course completion rates and test scores. Tin Can API figures among the futuristic eLearning trends in 2019 and beyond, and it is set to replace SCORM as the gold standard for the industry. Embrace LRS to improve the way you manage learning and make business decisions.

This year, talent-suite LMS vendors will still focus on employee-specific business needs, while the rest of the LMS industry feasts on an abundance of extended enterprise opportunities. So, what business wouldn’t want to achieve measurable benefits like these? Now, winning business from professional associations is difficult for generalist cloud LMS providers and impossible for talent-suite vendors. The business world already has systems that track all that.

Another great low (zero) budget option to get started with is a free account in SCORM Cloud. Questions: Does xAPI have the way to save state or variables between learning sessions the way SCORM does? In fact it’s a lot more versatile than SCORM in this area. The data is stored on Google’s servers and can only be used for reporting. SCORM vs xAPI. Questions: Rather than discussing SCORM as a technology isn’t it more accurate to describe it as a language?

Right now, you have to upload the course as you would with your SCORM wrapper, where you self-upload or use the course within an online mobile platform from your authoring tool vendor. Education is going more and more with tablets, businesses are going with tablets (in some cases, expecting the consumer who has the tablet to bring it into work and use it), consumers as a whole are using tablets. Global tablet sales will exceed 450 million units by 2016 (Business Insider).

What we want to call out is that these days, there are two many ways to get them: Streaming from an internet site. Streaming Courses from Internet. An elearning course has the same content that you’d see in a course streaming from a website. You can get an LMS installed on your own network server or use one that’s on the cloud.

In my experience, small businesses (500 or less users) are the ideal audience for a low cost system. This does not mean that anyone who has more than 5,000 users should be a system in the low cost mode, but rather these systems are definitely suited to this business size. In the cloud or on your own servers. Low cost systems are typically SaaS based (then again, the LMS industry as a whole is more SaaS based than hosted on your servers).

The two main components are the server and the user interface. Think of the server as the computer hardware which allows the system to run. A learning management system offers busy managers a chance to refresh their knowledge and learn new strategies at times convenient to them.

An authoritative whitepaper on how to plan, implement, and evaluate an e-learning program for your business. Like any corporate initiative, the training program should have a stated mission and a set of business objectives that are well defined. The plan will also need to include a business analysis that identifies the costs and benefits of the training program. Your initial plan should include the following: Identify and define the business goals.

Streaming video – low number of systems. SCORM/AICC/PENS/IMS. This is due to some of these companies allowing various business units to purchase their own system OR they have one system for employees and one system for customers. Rather than be swayed by the big names, I’d focus on vendors who are like you, whether it is via your vertical or business type or even your size of business.

E-Learning and all forms within are normally taken via your desktop computer and either hitting your company’s server with your browser or going to a hosted LMS vendor’s solution. If you wanted to have a video conference with multiple people or a webinar with high quality video or full video streaming on your smart phone, you are out of luck.
