Probably just three years ago, if you said Element K I would have immediately thought about off-the-shelf courseware. However, Element K has made substantial, progressive improvements to their LMS, most recently by building custom integrations between Jive Clearspace and KnowledgeHub, Element K’s LMS.

Thus far I've looked at Element K, SkillSoft, Vital Learning, Ninth House, and Achieve Global. I received an inquiry from someone I know, and I'm hoping people who read this blog can make suggestions. I'm looking for vendors who supply off-the-shelf training for basic manager skills such as, time management and delegation. What I like about these providers is the scope of what they offer -- many courses to choose from. Are there other providers you'd recommend I look at?

At one time, it was the biggest brand out there, and a vendor who bought up other well-known content providers such as NetG and ElementK. Actually, let me re-state that, because back in the day, ElementK published Microsoft Office content that was highly engaging and interactive and IMO the best Office content I had ever seen. It was finished. All I had to do was click publish, but then something happened. Dinner. Afterwards, I started to question the post.

If the buy content you get Skillsoft system sounds familiar you are correct, because the same approach was taken with Skillport, an LMS from Skillsoft, which was really a stripped down version of the old Element K system back in the day. ” This was due to the buying spree that Skillsoft conducted in the early to mid-2000s where they bought up quite a few 3rd party off the shelf vendors including NetG (a big player back then) and Element K (strong player back in the day). .

They have more than 1,100 associates spread out across Florida, Georgia and Alabama.

Regardless if the vendor is m-learning specific, content authoring tool, LMS, web conferencing or a hybrid. It shouldn’t matter. If your telling me your solution is mobile ready, then all I should need to do is go iTunes or Android and find your app. Simple, right?
