Welcome to our 4th annual LMS and learningsystems “Trends” post! As fiercely independent learning technology analysts, we think a trend isn’t just a fleeting idea that comes and goes like fashion, or a social media hashtag. Almost daily, new learning technology developers contact us to introduce themselves.
This year’s Top 50 learningsystems for 2018 is now out, and we are doing it a bit different this year. While I track now 1,300 learningsystems around the world, the rankings are based on 1,000. If a system was built using a theme from WordPress or other types of blog sites, they were removed too.
Nowadays every learningsystem vendor out there will tell you their system is Next Generation or some nuanced spin that goes towards NexGen. The problem is that for most of the systems, it just isn’t the case. This is due to a couple of key factors: They do not know what constitutes a system to be NexGen.
It started in 2018, then in 2019. Worst LearningSystem – A lot of good ones err bad ones out there. This is totally based on the similar criteria I have for the top learningsystems. Most Baffling LearningSystem. Vendors write it as micro learning, forgetting the hyphen. Yep, like that.
Knowing what you need from an eLearning authoring tool can be hard, especially when there are so many options on the market. gomo’s new ebook aims to save you time and hassle by identifying 12 must-have authoring tool features.
And thus, comes the State of the E-Learning industry as rumble forward with 2019. What I have seen so far (covers 2018 into the first week of 2019). Higher number of L&D folks finally seeing the value of personal and professional development thru the use of e-learning, especially with LMSs and LEP/LXPs. – is fading.
When you look at the list below you might wonder why we’re not calling this our 2019 Book of LearningSystems Trends. Well, a lot is happening in extended enterprise learning and we want to touch on all the high points. In fact, this guide is like the learningsystems landscape, itself – deep, broad and multi-faceted.
Once the LXP market hit the mature stage, the WOW factor became just another system, with another pitch, another twist – and a new audience unaware of what was before – only to see what is now. Because nowadays people have zeroed in to the LXP as it is more of interest than say 2018. Spin works, my dear friend.
Thus the appropriate name should be Learning Engagement Platforms. And therefore going forward, I’m going to reference them as such. . They are a subset, a niche genre of the learningsystem industry. The biggest player in the learningsystem space are LMSs (just an fyi). . The Functionality.
LEP is the acronym for an learning engagement platform, which is a subset of a learningsystem. Because there are less players compared to the LMS (largest niche in the learningsystem market), the market is truly in an infant stage. With that comes as with anything growing pains. CLOs tend to be L&D folks.
Once the LXP market hit the mature stage, the WOW factor became just another system, with another pitch, another twist – and a new audience unaware of what was before – only to see what is now. Because nowadays people have zeroed in to the LXP as it is more of interest than say 2018. Spin works, my dear friend.
This attempt to routinely piece together the individual’s ‘learning puzzle’ is key to a more intuitive and agile future of learning. To truly understand Experience API or xAPI, we need to first talk of Shareable Content Object Reference Model(SCORM) – the popular protocol that allows learningsystems to speak with each other.
I do not know if it will be by the end of 2018 or by Q2 of 2019, but when they launch, besides the big whoopla that comes with it, they will do damage. Based on some exploration, it is clear to me they have a couple of routes to go in terms of the system. F2 – Learning Resources, Learning Resources, Learning Resources.
For me, the challenges I face are the time to learn new skills. xAPI has become the valid standard for tracking all types of learning external to the LMS, yet I still haven’t developed a project, even a portfolio piece, using xAPI. If not, is it time that we start looking for more flexible standards?
And now onto the Corporate forecasts for 2018, for e-learning and immersive learning. LearningSystems. Micro-learnsystems with content that is short, video, text, PDFs slowly increase. While some micro-learnsystems pitch the content as a “course”, I think that will be a stretch.
For the LXPs of 2019, the post was in late 2018. . new, but has done other things in the e-learning industry) or they are switching over to an LXP, formally an LMS, or they are rolling out their own LXP (they already have an LMS too). . They have the majority of the standards for an LXP, with a few nice wrinkles.
I used the standard approach many folks I assume use, I grabbed my magic 8 ball shook it a bit, and read those future words, “I don’t understand”, “Yes”, “No” “Ask Again.” For 2019, written in 2018, close to 95% accurate (as of today). . Then others followed thereafter.
Wait again, I’m not referring to your favorite HRIS, rather the LMS. . In fact, the statement of more coming in than leaving is directly referring to learning management systems. Want a learning engagement platform? An HCM is a human capital management system. No, the articles say that it is dead.
The standard in training for service writers is to have 10-12 technicians at a workshop where they would meet for live training in a venue like a school or hotel. This isn’t the most efficient or cost-effective way to get the training done, so Kurt spent time with Suzuki and Ducati working on their online training system using LifterLMS.
On the learningsystem or any online learning platform, would security be even better using blockchain? What really bothers me more so, is when certain learningsystem vendors tell me they do not offer social or NexGen functionality because their clients either do not want it or because of security concerns by the client.
