This is far better than them receiving a 20 page RFP or 100 page RFP. Everything you need to know will be in this post. You choose.

Experience API (xAPI) is a newer standard to make such an inter-program/app possible. But in 2010, after putting out a call for vendors to develop a set of next-gen eLearning standards, the governing body of SCORM, Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL), tasked a company—Rustici Software—with that responsibility.

Ask around for request for proposal (RFP) samples and send one of them to a dozen LMS vendors? You know the answer already if you read last week’s post : an LMS RFP is not the first step of the selection process, it’s the result of the first step.

One item, that people who are looking for a learning system often perceive is that the RFP will be the key deciding factor on selecting or at least narrowing down their list for a learning system. The IT folks involved in the RFP is another monster. Cookie is one thing, but it tends to slide more towards Frankenstein. HR involvement.

Is the LMS RFP a Necessary Evil? A Request for Proposal (RFP) is one of the most widely used yet controversial tools for learning management systems buyers. The LMS RFP has developed a bad reputation because it is easily misunderstood. Clients expect me to help them avoid RFP missteps. What is an LMS RFP?

Let’s face it – RFI/RFP documents sent over to learning system vendors are massive tomes that confuse, challenge and even baffle some vendors. Then you have RFP/RFIs that lack substance. The fact of the matter is nobody loves creating RFP/RFIs. They can be 25 pages. 50 pages, even 100 pages or more.

Actually the whole RFP process is often a waste of time for all parties. An RFP shouldn’t be a list of specifications, it should be an open invitation to help you solve a problem. Be clear on the existing standards or practices in your organization. And, everyone has budget constraints, so be up front with these.

Content can be lots of things, including your SCORM or whatever type of course standard you are uploading that aligns to what the vendor can accept. And it should be part of the internal process of checks and balances, before that RFP goes out. I see way too many SCORM package- meaning to upload a course. So, just say content.

It would be a bitter pill to swallow if you selected an LMS only to find out after the fact that all the courses you’ve created prior to the LMS implementation won’t run because they are published to the wrong standard.

Of primary importance is fulfilling the requirements and complying with the RFP. This is obviously a sensitive yet vital component of the RFP, and therefore must be thought out carefully.

If your goal is just to post the course on a server and let people access it, just for the sake of learning and you don’t care about tracking of any sort – then no, you do not need any compliance standard. LMSs are starting to make assessment tools standard, and again some can be quite robust. No, just kidding.

I personally like to have demos after you've defined your differentiating use cases and know where the system is likely going to be more challenging. But I thought it would be good to have the rest of the picture.
