The year kicked off with lots of potential, lots of excitement in the air and lots of customers gearing up to purchase new systems, despite global economic woes. Mobile Learning.

What’s the best way to add components to your product? In the past it was build it yourself (pricey) or find open source and customize it (could be pricey, but cheaper then complete build). The partner approach works this way: vendor A integrates Vendor B’s solution into their product.

Does it impact customer satisfaction? Productivity loss? Gain an understanding of your organization’s strategic goals, and then determine how the learning solution can have a positive effect on those goals.

This one trend really is an irritation to me, because the term “training” is showing up rather than “learning”, which is the standard term as it relates to online learning (see it already?). Custom Development and LMS vendors. Custom Course Shops. What do you mean?

The first segment is for buyers, potential and current customers. The second segment is for vendors – including insight from fellow vendors on various trade shows. I know there are people who will visit the conference’s expo section, where the vendors are listed, prior to the show. Hence, this guide.

Seems to show a level of customer service we have all come to expect when testing something or trying it out before we buy it. Why are some vendors making it impossible? Why are some vendors treating you as a spy or something sinister when you just want to try out the product? Customer friendly – No.

Sales at its most basic form is about enticing people to purchase your product. They are so focused on selling the product, or following some type of simple script, that they are not listening to the potential new client. Are you also seeking blah blah blah (assuming the customer didn’t mention it)?” and listen.

I saw a lot more folks than in previous shows and more e-learning vendors too. Equally there were several ILT vendors who had some type of online learning thing going on. Vendors who fail to get the concept of you – the customer being the most important person there. Eating in your booth.

E-Commerce. Customized skinning – albeit in today’s market there are some vendors who charge for skins – disgusting! Excluding the above, there are vendors out there who charge extra for. People who perceive online learning as doomsday to learning, especially classroom based.

However, they often do not realize – until it is too late, that “free” isn’t really free because customization has to constantly exist, support, among other things. Because students are already using such products in their daily lives. Social Learning. Online Learning vs. ILT. Bottom Line.

Back in the early 2000′s, LMSs often had content mgt features built within their system, but called themselves learning management systems. By the mid to late 2000′s, the split returned with LCMS and LMS (and yes, there were vendors who called themselves LCMSs for as long as e-learning – online learning – has existed).

If you listen to content authoring tool vendors who have added the capability of HTML5 it is easy to misunderstand what some are saying is not what you assume to be true. The assumption is that the product can output to HTML5, yet this is hardly true for the vast majority of authoring tools. Online/Offline synch.

It happened with a vendor that I was quite impressed with several months back. Showed it via a “live customer.” I’ve equally been zapped by products outside our space too. E-Learning vendors offer training or tell you they have robust training, you find out it is PDF guides with an accompanying video.

Product: Raptivity. Don’t get me wrong, this is a product that offers some really great features, but it constant pitching within the product to upsell, becomes irritating, so much so, I can easily see someone blasting the product into recycle bin space.

The RFP may be geared actually to the vendor whose site you have pulled it down from. Case in point, one vendor who had a RFP on their site, for anyone to download, had statements in there – that truly applied to their product. Many vendors are in the three or less years category. 28 vendors. This is a myth.
