If I have those skill sets, why would I want to be an administrator of a LMS, when I could work free-lance or in some other programming capacity? Anything that reduces calls into a company’s tech support (and thus lower the costs for that vendor’s customer support) will be incorportad. Think about it.

In the webinar, I brought up how LMS vendors were themselves perpetuating the myth of the bad things of social media (which is a necessary component of social learning), so, rather than identify the facts and data to potential clients who are concerned about social media and thus social learning, they instead do not include it in their system.

JeL SIM- simulations requires experience of the Java programming language to create a numerical model of the system/concept being simulated.

You want to be able to import your attendees or at least add them into the program – including newbies (which for the latter, they all do) and then EMAIL INVITES WITHIN THE PROGRAM and not having to use your own email account to send out the invites. Twitter and other social media. E-Learning 24/7.

Bookmark feature is interesting, but with this one item – Saba’s past UI issues appear – too bad, it has an spin on the bookmark concept.epub file upload that worked, which is rarely seen in any file acceptance of other social learning systems and even the majority of e-learning solutions to begin with.

API (Application Program Interface) capability. The downside of using this, is it will require someone with programming skills to work with GeoLearning to make it a go (again, common). I do not blame GeoLearning on the current clients perspective, because many vendors do this. E-Learning 24/7.

The term often associated with such a capability is “Media Center&# , in that your television becomes not just a box to view programming, but basically an extension of your computer. As we know, the majority of people who access e-learning content (inc. mobile and social) is out of the workplace.

With the increase by end users using social media and mobile devices, web conferencing vendors are finding ways to add these capabilities within their systems. Very cool features. Ability to send out event information via Twitter and Facebook. Reminders sent via Twitter. Way it works.

BTW, one vendor told me, “they can export it into another database or program for deeper analysis” (congrats, this is the worst idea ever. As you can see, social learning is no longer the must have feature in a system. people want automation, not manual).

Programming Skills need not apply. The products are designed for people who have limited to no real technical skills, such as programming skills or writing HTML, javascript, etc. We can visit their social media sites and post about it. Their premise was simple: create courses quickly and easily. So, what happened?

One item that I found very cool with Mindflash is the ability to share the course via Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook and e-mail. While it would be nice to see other social media channels available, having it available for the big three is very slick.
