A high percentile pitched “demo&# as a trial, but you had to register – so hello phone call and at least an e-mail (even if you ask not to e-mail). Social Media & Social Learning – LMS Style. Yet, LMS vendors pick on of the paths below. We can surf the internet, find other vendors.

Vendors are hearing us and are making changes. More multilingual options to their web sites, trials and social learning. Newest Version – LMS/Learning Portal Directory. Worse, there are a large number of vendors whose “contact us&# or “inquire sales&# goes into a deep black hole.

I include Learning Portals, LCMSs, as part of the mix. Extended Enterprise – System must have e-comm, multi-tenet – fully skinnable, additional functionality. That said, across the board for all Big Dog systems, their social learning functionality was weak. Social Learning is limited.

Sales service – in my experience awful. . #22 Part LMS, part social and yes a very nice part of mobile including apps for iPad. Big wins: support for tablets and thus mobile learning, home dashboard for end users, nice social learning – I love the expert locator and doable performance mgt (for people who want that).

That smartphones were the answer to mobile learning. Vendors were saying, lets “wait on those&# or “our customers are not requesting them, so we are holding off&#. Social learning? A significant number of vendors, reported higher revenue and sales numbers in 2010, then in 2009. 100% mobile.

Sales – 25.7%. rather then going through the LMS vendor. I have found I can land a better price then using the quick way via the LMS vendor. The vendor is taking a percentile of the sales of the courses, so it makes sense to go direct and cut out the middleman. Social Learning – 57.1%.

The downer on the latter is they are cutting short the feature sets that are possible in an EE, such as multiple domains – standalone, rather than shared on one portal, with sub-portals or having incentive points.

I see it a lot, especially with social learning and the wonderment of some vendors of adding a “discussion forum and text chat room&# as part of their solution.
