The game was awesome, of course, but I’m talking about a few other factoids. It dropped down to around 3K by game time. The point here is that people paid a lot and received nearly okay, nothing in return – for them to really get a benefit from the game, beyond attending the game. Bands are changing too.

It’s success or failure will come down to that specific party, thus either game changer or game that got away. This has always been a challenge with various vendors, especially today, where turnkey (out of the box) is the standard, a few tweaks included, and thus implementation times are very short (a plus).

I often mention leasing a car when talking about a learning system. When you “buy” a learning system, you are actually leasing it. Sure, there are some vendors who will sell you the system outright, but then you either pay extra for the updates or you just have a system that never gets updated.

But the behemoth, the big elephant in the room, learning systems are not fans of trials. In the early 2000’s right up to about 2012, trials were common in the learning system market.

Surprises in E-Learning One of the biggest surprises, is that so many folks are unaware that e-learning was an umbrella term, as I noted in the History of the LMS post. Vendors use it to refer to online courses/content. On top of that, they misspell it – the term is e-learning. It has always been e-learning.
