What always stuns me are vendors who state they know what their learners want, but in reality have no clue, because they themselves do not see the technology and its usage among the masses. Each one is available today on the Internet for free and these types of products are gaining mass in the global market. Works even when offline.

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.

While I find their LMS name, “Company College” a minor challenge (I think it is a disservice to the product itself) there is no mistaking the oomph of this solution and where it started out to where it is today. The system as a whole is quite robust including digital signatures, online/offline synch and a very nice UI.

Dozens of LMS vendors, had typos on their web pages, zero screens of the system, links that went nowhere and two kicked up my Firewall warning of possible privacy collection and one had a Trojan Horse (I use a hardcore firewall and A/V). Based on my updated LMS directory of nearly 220 vendors, 15% offered a trial. Demo vs Trial.

The product comes in two flavors – a simple and a more robust. SaaS product – but here’s the thing – if you want the course to be in your LMS – it can but it still sits on the ZZ server side and not in your system (should note that the LMS connectivity is available only in the $40/u version).

It can be seen in systems that dub themselves “training management” systems, HCMs that state “training” as a component, authoring tools that describe their product geared towards “training lessons or courses”, etc. Mobile Learning with LMS vendors – slow adoption rates. Bottom Line.

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?
