There are over 25 social media types – types include social networking, live casting, game platforms, virtual worlds, web conferencing, social bookmarking, social network aggregators, social news aggregators, blogs, app sharing (inc. That there are people out there including vendors who are not on the social media scene.

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. Game platforms are a social media type. E-Learning 24/7.

You want to see a learning platform, but you don’t want to access the trial, first or perhaps you can’t. You can try to figure out about the product via the company’s web site, but many sites honestly are beyond awful. What then, is the option for you, beyond closing your eyes and imagining the product?

For the past month, I have been conducting a survey on learning platforms and specifically learning management systems. . The data shows that what many vendors assume end users want is far from accurate. Too many vendors are focusing on talent/performance management as the next feature/component in their systems.

You could count on your hand the number of vendors even looking at it, and I’m not just talking LMSs/Learning Portals, but content authoring tools and other products. Product A - Upside2Go. From the makers of Upside Learning. Product B – Knowledge Tango aka K-Tango. 100% mobile.

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.

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.

Make no mistake, there are plenty of vendors out there who believe in the concept of focusing on features and forgetting about usability, under the guise that people would rather have lots of cool blinky things rather than usability. While this is a great concept for party decorations, it is not for a learning platform.

Game platforms are a social media type. What about Twitter?

Well, I am here to tell you about an amazing product that can answer your LMS questions. The first thing you should do is write down what specific features you are looking for in the product. What about a payment gateway – does the LMS vendor assist you with this or do you have to find your own? E-Learning 24/7.

It is what makes any product or service, aspire to new heights. I especially love it when it happens in the e-learning industry. Product updates, some new features – but boring town. When they hit stride, other vendors take notice and soon, the lemming revolution begins. Innovative Products.

A trend that is happening in the LMS market more so than in the other e-learning markets, is the failure to follow their path of success. I am seeing many vendors whose products were built for SMB (and more aligned on the lower side of mid size companies) who are now pushing into the mid/upper mid to large size customer band.
