The files will work for those who are visually impaired and use programs that read pdfs beyond the standard ones. I will tell you that two of my top 5 up and coming LMS vendors are not on that list, as over the past few months, I have seen others surpass them. I will be launching a web site the first week of November.

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. Audio editing – still no match to Audacity, a free program. Frankly a few deserve coal in their stockings.

When you think of a learning management system you immediately focus on the features, ease of use (ideally) and more importantly how it ties directly to what you want to do in the short and long term as related to learning or learning/performance management. Maybe you see it as a component within a blended learning environment.

A common argument I’m hearing from vendors on why they do not offer a social learning component in their system. &# “Companies are blocking social media access at their site and/or have social media governance policies&#. Majority of employees access social media sites out of the workplace. Integrated e-mail.

Vendors are hearing us and are making changes. More multilingual options to their web sites, trials and social learning. If it says “updated link&# , when you click the link it will go directly to the site. 17% of LMS vendors have a product demo on their site, without having you register to see it.

One vendor asked if you wanted to learn more about their product and sent you to their help desk to notify them of errors or issues with their system (hmm, not likely to buy one from these guys). Over 90% of LMS vendors had their sites available only in English; so the potential customer could not view it in any other language.

An API (Application Program Interface) enables an interface from a piece of software to communicate with another piece of software (in its simplest form) or multiple pieces of software (called a mashup). APIs available in popular programs – SAAS. Let’s say though you do not want to add the specific site in your LMS, etc.

One of the irritants with RCATs and frankly many e-learning vendors in assessment and other groups, is that you have no idea what image format is acceptable, until you go into the select image function. While the media search overall is nice, it would be great if they could identify what some of these sites contain.
