I’ve written in the past about MCP (Model Context Protocol) for learning and training (via learning systems), albeit a link to a highly confusing and yet the best version of explanation on the net. MCP, which I will use going forward, is best in explanation to something everyone else can relate to. Let’s say back…

Hodgepodge. It’s a nice word, and one that truly reflects this post. I could have gone one route, or selected another or even a third way, but after deep consideration, okay, five minutes, I decided on this way – three takeaways in one article. Do they have anything in common with one another? Seriously? It’s…

WBT (Web-Based Training). People – Learners and Students. CBT Prior to online learning known then as WBT, and then the latter term of…

What is a turkey? Well, besides a bird, I think most of us think of a bad product or service or in our case, system or solution. And yes, you are totally correct. For me, I toss in some terms that need to go or be stopped in their tracks before confusion does more to…

This past week on LinkedIn I wrote about four trailblazers in the early days of the industry, learning systems – and what made them special (one has since hit speed bump), and four who trailblazed and then hit a major speed bump into, well, lost their way. The latter included an authoring tool, too. Numerous…

Remote workers.  Deskless workers.  Regardless of the preferred term, your employees, your customers are likely working from home.  They are not coming into your office or some other facility.   And with that, becomes a challenge for L&D and Training.  The Good Old Days  – As in early Feb. 2020 Let’s look into our crystal ball…

Everyone knows that support in the learning system space as a whole is below average. Sure there are vendors who do an exceptional job, but the fact still remains that the number one reason, people leave one learning system vendor for another is support/service. This isn’t new. It has been the same issue for nearly…
