What you need 2 know: 3rd Party Content

AUGUST 6, 2018

There may come a time, when you need content. Content these days, well, it is an umbrella term to represent courses (micro too), videos, articles, materials, workbooks, other types of learning resources, podcasts and so forth. If it can be consumed for knowledge, then it slides under content. . Who remembers NetG?

Content – Change the Narrative

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. Content (formally known as courses as the main stay) follow the same suit.

Someone came up with a term for DVD content, a horrible idea – and well, nobody remembers it. However, ND never hit its stride and had the potential to do so – the very first vendor, whereas you could use part of it via a jump drive (true). Adobe was the first vendor to use templates to create courses.

Today, very few vendors offer this depth. Ditto on the 3rd party content, including one vendor who figured out how to create a video with bookmarks and chapters that streamed without issue on a 56K modem. Vendors expect use cases. The challenge hits on what the vendor considers Enterprise to mean. Enterprise.

CBT Prior to online learning known then as WBT, and then the latter term of e-learning (vendors today, use it to refer to content that is online), there was CBT. Want to create mini-modules, with a TOC and interactive/engaging content – with real world scenarios in the micro? WBT (Web-Based Training). Yep doable.

I personally think what has hurt them in the greater market is the push by so many vendors (some of which are legit competitors) to refer to them as “traditional”, citing how long they have been around. Learn.com – First a content aggregator, then jumped into the LMS market, acquired by Taleo, who promised to invest heavily.

This is a story about a one-time giant in the 3rd party off-the-shelf content providers. A behemoth, impressive and at the same time, seen in a “Evil Empire” perspective among other vendors in the mid 2000s. This is also about a vendor who lost their way. That’s it. It is from Percipio.

Better yet, what does it mean to YOU when trying to find that LMS or LCMS vendor? Rather, I will focus on some questions you should ask or be asking your soon to be LMS/LCMS vendor. Very few vendors ever attempted the certification, and AICC did not offer all their components for certification. SCORM, SCORM 1.2, with SCORM.

Perhaps the content provided educational value or offered the ability to see into the future and what is possible. The point being you had content to consume and content that was a building block to your learning. – you need content for that learning block. That content can come in many ways. Fast Forward.

Youll be interested to hear that when 200 CLOs/e-learning managers/training directors were asked to name 10 custom content development companies, most couldnt name 5. We review 150 developers in our custom content knowledge base and identified 550 vendors that produce custom courseware. not How Well? or How better? Hey, Derek.

These are being reported out of the larger eLearningGuild population and I would claim that they are likely more accurate than survey research that goes through the vendors themselves. Several of the LMS vendors appear more than once, such as Oracle. They can be used to see how LMS vendors stack up against particular features.

Remember Digital Think, SmartForce, Pensare, NETg, KnowledgeNet, UNext, Docent, One Touch, Centra, InterWise, and their brethren? Vendors churned out page-turners and shovelware. Curated content from external sources. Content management systems, wikis, blogs, curation. In the late 1990s, the web changed everything.
