LMS Products of the Year 2010. A lot of great products out there this year, new updates and latest versions; new companies, new services and just some real innovation. I include Learning Portals, LCMSs, as part of the mix. The product is Flash based, which is nice, but lack of mobile optimization for the iPad. Categories.

Very few things impress me, especially product claims or services. SCORM Cloud is a product that has the possibility to be a game changer in the e-learning industry.

Despite overall consumer demand (not just within e-learning) for tablets, and numbers showing that tablets are outselling notebooks, e-learning vendors as whole are sitting back and waiting. APIs of various social sites with Linkedin growing at a quick pace. Standards are Facebook and Twitter.

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. Over 2,400 social media sites. They have no clue.

Vendors and sadly, companies who purchase their products, believe that since someone can open up their web browser and click to view pages, they can figure it out. Anything that reduces calls into a company’s tech support (and thus lower the costs for that vendor’s customer support) will be incorportad.

If you are still a huge fan of ILT or believe a blended learning approach is necessary, why stick only to PowerPoint, handouts and long talks? Product training becomes real – they interact, engage and see it in real time, rather than a static experience. Social Learning. Mobile Learning. Brainstorming?

. “Everyone else&# and “other industries&# is worthless as well, because if that is the case, you – as the vendor- are basing your business decisions on another industry whose product lines are different, and that is a bigger issue then tech support.

When you hear the term “browser agnostic&# , what this means is that the product or solution will work on any browser. But with LMS vendors jumping into the mobile learning sector, at least in some cases, it may be a tad misleading, especially with smartphones. DEPENDS on whose product your purchase. Then and Now.

I wonder if we have truly achieved this premise, i.e. learning without borders or are we stating something that is not yet accurate? Go onto any social media site: Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Quora or any of the thousands of sites, and you will see people engaging with total strangers. Social Engagement.
