Virtual immersive environments come in all shapes and sizes even though many people tend to only think of Second Life when they think of virtual worlds. But there are many alternatives that are being deployed in a variety of applications. Then we began our tour of the virtual world. Checking out the virtual exhibit hall.

As an e-Learning vendor, I think its our responsibility to make sure that our clients have thought this through. Of course these vendors will want to provide updated content in order to ensure their clients dont have out of date material. But Ive never once had a conversation with a client about this subject.

Our vendor was very helpful, taking the necessary time to have it optimally integrated with our IT system. Our IT group changed the infrastructure a year ago, to *open source* (I don’t know what they were thinking), but fortunately my vendor says that they’d be happy to help change the installation to work with the new services architecture.

Interestingly, it's Xyleme - an LCMS vendor that is sponsoring the site. However, unless you can turn that into actionable information especially the kind of Data Driven learning solutions, then I'm not sure I buy that this will be much more than a neat thing to talk about and for vendors to sell. I call it working smarter.

Say, if youre purchasing a course library from SkillSoft or some other vendor: If a client has their own LMS, do they purchase the courses outright and host them on their own servers? If so, is the vendor able to track usage or do they just sell the content for a flat fee based on LMS seat size? By actual usage?

In addition to understanding the content for a custom course, the vendor needs to understand the companys culture and communicate constantly with the SME. How did they chose a company?

eLearning vendors (those that design custom courseware) are often handed the course to be built. So the vendor scopes it out and does the design work, the storyboarding, the development work. But the bottom line is, the vendor needs to butter their bread and produce what the client has asked for. Evaluation complete.

Microsoft in India, just hires content development managers, whose core skill sets is ID, but their role turns out to be that of a vendor manager and content reviewer, as Microsoft (in India) outsources elearning work to 3rd parties.

Why should companies go with e-Learning vendors when rapid e-Learning tools are available? Have the e-Learning vendor create the first few custom programs. Vendors create solid relationships with their customers this way -- creating an environment of collaboration and respect for mutual expertise. I completely agree with this.

Most e-Learning vendors mention ADDIE or some form thereof on their websites as if it was a real science about creating effective learning. I dont think ADDIE and Gagne are really in the same class. I disagree that ADDIE is an instructional design model. Theres nothing in ADDIE about learning objects or the presentation of information.

Neither should we use instructional methods of teaching when we post and share knowledge in Twitter or Second Life. Combining these two tools under one roof may be good vendor hype; however, they could lead to “psychotic” learning systems.
