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. Standards are Facebook and Twitter. Frankly a few deserve coal in their stockings. Market as a whole. Best example?

Anything that reduces calls into a company’s tech support (and thus lower the costs for that vendor’s customer support) will be incorportad.

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.
