The challenge with each of these events is that there are a lot of vendors pitching their systems, content, consulting firm, e-learning tool and other items, and you as the person walking the floor doesn’t necessarily know who to look at, who to seriously consider and who to avoid. The Guide of Me. Expert 101.

Getting your requirements solid before beginning your LMS search or sending to vendors can seem a bit intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be.

1995 – Real Media arrives on the internet scene streaming an entire baseball game that probably no one watched. Video itself - streamed, recorded, edited then posted, posted without editing, etc. – may/may not include audio incl. Stream your video. Other options – depends on the vendor. Blu-Ray wins.
Many LMS vendors provide portlets, gadgets or widgets that allow for access of learning content (most often meaning courses and courseware) through the corporate portal.

I did this by tracking the twitter stream, #closym. A researcher reported that the keyword, webinar, was searched more often than the keyword, elearning. And for the audience, it’s not a bad way to look into an idea or vendor. One tweet grabbed my attention. Think about that. Appreciate the way we do leader development.
hjarche I want to clearly show readers there are problems, not just solutions in search of them.

Extension bookmarklet is fantastic, the block widgets that appear on the top of the search engines (including Google) showing the content that aligns to what you are seeking is quite nice.

This is exactly the type of innovation we need these days from Tools vendors. I recently received my new Amazon FireTV stick, which allows me to connect it to any of my TVs and stream most anything from Amazon, including Prime video. Kudos to TechSmith! That’s pretty cool.
I couldn’t care less whom these vendors have as a clients. The vendors as a whole, not just the 75, will always show big names. Unless you ask are you exclusive which means “the only learning system” at the company, association, etc – the vendors won’t cover that, while showing you the clients.
From a vendor perspective there was a huge impact, but what was odd, is that some vendors still are living in the past, as though, this is a minor blip, and in 2021, everything will go back as it was – corporate wise that is.

There are already a couple of vendors, in the works with it, and at least one, Firmwater, who says they have added it to their learning system (I have been promised a demo).

Why do I say that?
One of those opportunities was with SpongeUK , where I explained how LMS innovation is helping businesses create new revenue streams. This contrasts with what many vendors call a cloud LMS.
