This first generation e-learning was revolutionary, and companies like Skillsoft, NetG, Click2Learn, DigitalThink — my alma mater — and others were born. We built long programs with fancy media and interactivities designed to mimic a multiday instructor-led course.

Sadly, one day I called, they were out of business, sold to the nefarious NetG – who likely placed them in a huge warehouse next to the remains of a famous pharaoh. Ditto on the 3rd party content, including one vendor who figured out how to create a video with bookmarks and chapters that streamed without issue on a 56K modem. Sadly,

” This was due to the buying spree that Skillsoft conducted in the early to mid-2000s where they bought up quite a few 3rd party off the shelf vendors including NetG (a big player back then) and Element K (strong player back in the day). . Remember when I noted that some vendors saw them as the “evil empire?”

full disclosure - As some of you may know, I joined Thomson NETg in January to run one of their strategic business units called Collaboration (essentially what was KnowledgeNet whom they acquired in late 2004). Very exciting (at least to me) but what I need is your feedback on a tool that Thomson NETg developed which I think is a hidden gem.

The Resulting Big Five: (forecasted annual revenue) SkillSoft $200M+ NETg $150M-200M? It also doesn't bode well for WebCT's willingness to play with open source (sorry Harold!) And of course back in August we had WebEx buying Intranets.com and SumTotal (created out of Docent + Click2Learn) buying PathLore as I discussed in this post.

At one time, it was the biggest brand out there, and a vendor who bought up other well-known content providers such as NetG and ElementK. I’ve never found their content to be engaging, Harvard that is. Skillsoft is another brand name. Skillsoft’s content is a mixed bag.

Hmm, let’s see NetG (back in the day), Skillsoft, Playback Media (not the new one out there, but another one – may the rest in peace), a few other shops and Rosetta Stone (yes, that Rosetta Stone). I refused to be the middleman or go between (unless a massive issue arose, but I never loaded the courses myself). And guess what?

I used to pitch up against some of the "big guys" -- NetG, SkillSoft -- who do some custom development, but the clients would choose our small shop because we provided better customer service. Denise has a really good point about the high-touch quality of the custom development houses, which is so essential in this biz.

Will we ever see this for Capella and University of Phoenix or Thompson NETg ? I started thinking about how people will wear university hats, t-shirts, sweaters, cheer for teams. long after the learning experience. What about the elearning in our own organization?

Remember Digital Think, SmartForce, Pensare, NETg, KnowledgeNet, UNext, Docent, One Touch, Centra, InterWise, and their brethren? In the late 1990s, the web changed everything. eLearning was born. Venture capitalists funded scores of eLearning companies, most of which disappeared in the dot-com crash a few years later.
