For example: LTG acquired NetDimensions. In addition, with advanced analytics technology like xAPI, organizations are now tracking and analyzing learning experiences with incredible precision. Furthermore, since authoring and deployment are shared on a common platform, SCORM and xAPI issues tend to matter less. Welcome to our 4th annual LMS and learning systems “Trends” post!
