Unfortunately, too many vendors in the e-learning space have failed to see the power and potential of this capability, and have decided to ignore them.

I bet that is the first time you have seen a mashup between music from Hair (great musical, bad movie) and a holiday tune. It’s a perfect segue into the 2023, Learning System Awards. Initially I was going to present the systems that took off after mid-year, and list them, but I realized the same list would then appear for 2023.
If you have never experienced what I am about to cover, and you currently have a LMS, LXP, Learning Platform or any other type of learning system, heck even a talent management system with learning as a component, this little ditty will at some point come into play. cost of doing business or some other excuse.

LAMS is a comprehensive system for the design and implementation of learning activity sequences - it includes an authoring environment, a "run-time†environment for implementation of sequences with groups of learners, and a monitoring environment so teachers can see student progress in real-time (and view past activities).
In January, Salesforce.com introduced AppExchange ( [link] ), and already has more than 200 independent software vendors providing more than 300 different software as service applications.

I will go thru several areas for e-learning, not just learning systems, although by far, it will be the most, since a lot has happened in 2020. . But overall, in my opinion, EdTech also showed all its weaknesses front and center, and way too many vendors were unprepared for the numbers of schools, universities, colleges, etc.
They continue to muddle up the learning system space. The way a 3rd party content provider works with an LXP (or any learning system that offers a marketplace) is that they have a partnership agreement – allowing the vendor to have them in their marketplace. What they are and what they are not. No difference.
I’ve heard it from vendors. Many consumers, I surmise are doing it already without even realizing it, and even some vendors are too.

Nowadays I think that the gig is up, and everyone realizes the scam. Vendors use it to refer to online courses/content. Vendors use it to refer to online courses/content. Vendors who use it? WYSWIG (What You See is What You Get) is extremely popular – especially with learning systems’ authoring tools.
Revenues across the board are up, profit margins are healthy and competition is on-going (always a good thing). But for all that is positive, there are negatives, and these negatives can hinder long term growth for commercial systems. They are necessary for the evolution of any system and mandatory to garner more market share.
For the past month, I have been conducting a survey on learning platforms and specifically learning management systems. . The data shows that what many vendors assume end users want is far from accurate. Too many vendors are focusing on talent/performance management as the next feature/component in their systems.
Development), which most folks in L&D have anyway, OR if you are T&D (Talent Development, which most vendors are not using as a term, even though it exists) OR HR if you are doing some Performance, then performance management is part of your domain. If you are in L&D or have a background in OD (Org. We are all about employees.
With the ability to easily create learning applications that seamlessly mash-up the best content, and with the tools available, it is no wonder that some innovative vendors have already seized on this new opportunity.

Many vendors hyping PowerPoint to Flash angle as key feature. Who has time? I just want the code in one quick scoop. RLO, Themes, Widgets. SCORM compliant.
More of a course management system, than a LCMS/LMS as they try to push it. Help materials within the system are awful. APIs and mashups – which is really can expand Moodle to the next level of learning. So tweaks with code with the third party vendors/developers – tied to your system still applies.

The new article on a side note: focuses on emerging technology, but with a twist – something vendors in any e-learning space should be doing or exploring, but have not yet. More of a course management system, than a LCMS/LMS as they try to push it. Help materials within the system are awful. Bonus Challenges.

Is it me or does it seem that most vendors in the LMS/LCMS market still believe that with some smoke and mirrors, you won’t realize that social media actually must be integrated into social learning for it to exist? expo clearly shows and some argue that social media some grew up within the web 2.0 Does this exist in your system?
Just some thoughts that puzzle me on why some LMS/LCMS vendors (okay over 98% of them) are still in some time warp from the Eighties when it comes time to enhance their services and technological solutions. So why do vendors refuse to do this? No follow-up, zip. I know its a novel idea. I love their arguments. ET or CT and M-F?
This is the seventh featured system in my Friday series highlighting LMSs that are doing innovative, kick-ass things with social media. I was at a demo of their system at a company near where I live - an area that is not an easy destination to fly to. My first encounter with them was when they were still known as KnowledgePlanet.
But he’s not saying we should abandon these systems but look at the bigger picture which, if I’m grasping this as he intended and applying it to workplace learning, is not to control social media through such systems but join with abandon the ‘open social space’ (for lack any better) of informal learning.
I don’t blame you for that at all, because it is usually boring, dull, stale and proof that courses and various pieces of content rate right up there with going to the dentist (unless that is your type of thing and enjoy it).

Bottom Line.
As learning designers, it’s impossible to learn, know, and keep up with all the advancements and innovations in our industry, but I do think it is important to be aware of the ever-changing landscape.

Branon Learning Management System App Stores Bob Little Apps, Not Courses Inge de Waard Augmented reality moves towards augmented learning with easy tools: Wikitude , Layar , ARToolKit.
