Now that I have your attention, I need to tell you something. Something the LMS industry doesn’t want you to know. The only features you must have are the ones that solve your specific problems and actually meet your needs. That’s right, it’s actually all about who can provide solutions, not just features. It’s about who understands your needs, not who has an LMS that is going to adopt kittens in 5 years when it becomes sentient.

There’s a Big Misconception out there about e-Learning, and its sell-by date has passed this long since. It is that the value of e-Learning can be measured as a return on investment (ROI). My contention, simply put, is that it can’t. Return on investment and e-learning? Now don’t get me wrong: e-Learning, in my book, is the bees’ knees for a whole host of reasons, many of which I’ve touted in other blogs here.

Creating an online course today is different than it was just five years ago, mainly because of the technology we use. Back when e-learning first hit the scene there was no other way to take the course than using a desktop. Then laptops became the norm so most people took these courses on those.

What do you see the role of L&D being in the organization? Metaphors are important, as they form a basis for inferences of what fits. We frame our conversations by the metaphors we use, and these frames guide what’s allowed conversation and what’s not. To put it another way, metaphors are the basis for mental models that explain and predict what happens.

Clark was right of course. Teachers cannot be compared to machines, and should certainly never function as such. If they do, then they aren't teaching. Good, effective teachers are intuitive, empathetic and responsive to the needs of their students.
