Expect 2 C in Learning Systems 2021
Some of you are thinking, why is he using “2” and “C” as the title of the piece? Well, why not? I mean, when you consider that “communities” in learning systems are roaring back (although in all honesty, they never left), as though it is some whiz and wow thing, having a “2” to represent…
Grids are gone, Welcome2 T-Quad
I’m sure you have heard of this old ditty from the days of past, “Ol’McDonald had a grid, e-i-ee-io. And on this Grid he has some vendors, e-i-e-i-o. He had vendors in this quad, he had vendors in that quad and didn’t have your vendor, e–i-e-i-o.” As you can see Ol’McDonald was a traditionalist. He…
Top 10 Learning Systems 23-24
This is it! The Top 10 Awards of Learning Systems 2023-24, that are one part fully independent, one part global in reach, one part in-depth analysis and one part analytics based upon everything you can imagine and more (not Gen AI though, it’s way too new, into the space). The way I started out, was…
Degreed vs EdCast TXP vs Fuse – Battle 2.0
Three systems. One blog post. A repeat, in the sense, that a year ago, the debut battle between these vendors, occurred. It was and still is, one of the most popular posts, and since the systems have changed, it is only fitting to bring about a second battle to compare each vendor to one another.…
Certification Program Success via your Learning System
Certification Programs. Just the sound of the words “certification” can lead some folks to immediately think this is going to be challenging (it should) and equally worthwhile (it should). A certification program must benefit the person who is seeking to be certified. Whether it is for potential new job opportunities, financial rewards (current or next…
Frontline Workers + Online Learning – Does it work?
I don’t know about you, but I remember you from my first job. I was 16 years old. I was hired by a department chain (name not to be released because they are out of business now, and I can’t fully recall it). Rather than placing me into the music section, a dream for any 16-year-old,…
Forget Buying Multiple Systems – Go One with All
There is a wonderful ad out there from Expedia, where Ewan McGregor talks about how much we love stuff. And he is 100% right. I love stuff. Tech stuff. I buy way too much of it, most of it sitting somewhere at my home, in closets or storage. Show me some Los Angeles Rams stuff,…
LMS, LXP Functionality U Will Need in 2024
LMS. LXP. Learning Platform. Talent Development Platform, all slide under the umbrella term of learning systems. Yet each one of them have similarities in terms of functionality they will need in 2024. Sure, TDPs may go X route, while the others go Y route, but in the general sense of it, there are capabilities that…
The Latest – Learning System RFI Template
Let’s face it – RFI/RFP documents sent over to learning system vendors are massive tomes that confuse, challenge and even baffle some vendors. They can be 25 pages. 50 pages, even 100 pages or more. They go way beyond what is needed OR not enough needed. Some companies have every department give their two cents…
The LMS – Let’s Set The Record Straight
Deep thinking question. Can you think or name one SaaS or non-SaaS solution where the market for that solution overwhelmingly believes it is only Legacy and thus an antiquated offering best found in the diggings of Troy; or outdated, non-useful because it is called “X” and thus the entire industry of said “X” is therefore…
