I think the desire to try something new, to care about aesthetics and usability, and to become relevant to the workforce (again) are evolving standards in our field. Expect continued improvements in the ease of getting streaming video content to learners, and improvements in delivering both standard and interactive video.
This is a growing market with new vendors showing up, but at the same time, others disappearing. Is it PowerPoint converted to Flash? Microsoft Word converted to Flash? PowerPoint or Word converted to Flash, instant, virtually no add-ons, i.e. additional learning objects. Templates with some learning objects?
The eLearning Guild’s LS2011 event was well attended and features 50+ vendors and more than 1300 participants from the training and development industry. I was able to spend time with several different vendors who are all preparing to deliver their own mobile learning offers into the marketplace in the coming months. Check it out here.
Feature sets – they have to be more than PPT to Flash or add an audio clip and video clip to the course. When you see many of these awards from organizations – the general mass of them (but not all of them) require the vendor/company to submit an application for whatever category or categories. An additional note.
Innovation abounded and the push to focus on the “PPT to Flash&# angle continued to shine. You get the Flash code – YES – you get the code, which you can do whatever you want with it. Sure, other vendors will say you can do that too, but you have to open each object file to get it. Who has time?
There is a growing list of vendors, including small/mid size that are adding talent management components that match the Big Dog systems. A couple of vendors have added HRIS modules. It is interesting to note, that many of the vendors are targeting the SMB space, especially the small size (less than 500 employees) market.
That said, I wish they would offer the option of a true tree option, rather than the standard “slide” icon layout. Transitions, Animations, Views – I am fine using it once, but again, new product-new version, so why I am still seeing PowerPoint within this product to such a point, that TAV are exactly the same as in PPT?
Some lower-end, PPT + Audio tools will do well with none winning huge shares of the marketplace. Short, fast and to the point will be the standard. Kevin Oakes sounded the bell in Kevin Oakes on the Rise and Fall of the LMS as large LMS vendors began to move towards Talent Management. Applications in Learning (24) Free - Web 2.0
I’ve always found this product to be the top of the line for PowerPoint to Flash course builds. The two biggest negatives IMO, is that it just isn’t robust enough for e-learning developers and its whole focus on PPT into converting to a course doesn’t help. Screen capture – more and more vendors are adding it.
Dragging and dropping your files into order, choose from: Text documents – PDF/Word/PPT. SCORM is the defacto standard for eLearning courses and depending on the following factors it may or may not be right for you : Reasons to use SCORM: Developing courses in SCORM can help you to make eLearning content more interactive.
is not the only product which has an issue with a 64 bit Windows computer but in combination with PPT 2010, I’m unaware of any other. Library pulls in your video, audio, flash and image files right from your video,image, flash, audio folders on your computer – GREAT IDEA – although I wish they added HTML5.
Dedicated graphic designers and Flash programmers were available for some projects, but not all. Do you work for eLearning development houses (vendors) or do you work within corporate training departments? No needs assessment, no functional spec, no design -- just get that ppt deck going and slap some e-learning together.
Ive done some wireframes in PPT, but I keep coming back to Word. I wish I could share samples at this point, but everything proprietary to my client. :( @ Dave.the logic behind NOT providing the vendor with access to the software astounds me too. I have been wondering why there has not been a standard storyboarding template.
That said, there were some hiccups and from an entire vendor wise (expo here) angle, some unique and some, uh. This year, I estimated a 55/60% e-learning, including some ILT vendors offering some type of e-learning component. . I see way too many vendors think a web site is all they need and people will find them.
You work online via the servers of your vendor. I had thought that this trend would be dying out, but it is amazing at the number of vendors who are entering the space and still focused on the desktop approach. Vendors who are already in the SaaS only space, should continue to offer features that maximize its power. Projection.
I am still surprised on how vendors who are offering assessment only tools are staying in the game. PowerPoint – Ability to integrate or use PPT in your courses. Some vendors push heavily on PPT, implying that a great WBT is really a PPT converted to Flash. Flash output – still red hot.
