The LMS/LCMS/Learning Portal market continues to be strong. In my latest directory, 393 LMS vendors – global, of which 34 or so are open source systems. Folding up shop and switching to a new market: Talent/Performance Management, new product lines not tied to e-learning, services. It was a myth.

Majority of employees access a LMS or Learning Portal out of the workplace. Now, why doesn’t a vendor mention this information to a potential client, at least the first point – I can understand holding off on the second point, for selling purposes. E-Learning 24/7. What about Twitter? Yes, I own one.

In order for social learning to exist you need to have the following: social media plus e-learning. And, let us clear up another point: social learning is not just social networking. I hate when people see it as only Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin. Do you have a Facebook account? Learning Portal 16%.

Student, Teacher and Parent portals – It goes without saying on the student and teacher portals. As such, do folks really want parents to have their own portal? Built in video chat and notifications that can be sent not only by SMS but also through Facebook just add real value. Facebook and Twitter integration.

Parental portal, student portal, teacher portal (education systems). Multi-tenet, multi-portal and extended enterprise (basically it is all the same thing). Real surprise the number of vendors who make no mention of Workday or even know who they are. Course templates. Supports IDP (education). Instant messaging.

Is it me or does it seem that most vendors in the LMS/LCMS market still believe that with some smoke and mirrors, you won’t realize that social media actually must be integrated into social learning for it to exist? Or do they just drop the word, “social media&# , and rather say, “social learning and web 2.0″?

Online gaming, and not just Farmville on Facebook, is exploding. Look at the e-learning market and ask yourself, if the consumer market as a whole is using this, why wouldn’t vendors in our space follow suit? Social media sites that focus on gamers are in the top twenty of most visited sites. I know I would.

Certainly with the rise of rapid e-Learning tools and the increase in SME-published content well start to see an increase in the frequency of updates to e-Learning material. As an e-Learning vendor, I think its our responsibility to make sure that our clients have thought this through. Is that true?)

Vendors were saying, lets “wait on those&# or “our customers are not requesting them, so we are holding off&#. Social learning? If they were doing it, Facebook like page, a crummy blog that looks nothing like a real blog, a Twitter like feed, maybe RSS, text chat and YouTube functions and upload/download angle.

Facebook is not a driver for sales, and social media is in fact, one component of an effective digital marketing strategy. The learning management and learning platform markets are growing, in terms of sales and customer base, but it could be bigger. Bottom Line.
