Learning Systems Research

You may have noticed my dear friend as the cover image. That’s because this is also the Halloween Edition. I didn’t want to scare you off, after all, these are my forecasts (okay the ones you get to see) for 2025. I always keep several back, for clients – Jack is one of them, Nosferatu…

Niche. One area I added is niche when identifying learning system vendors for the 2024 awards (end of the year). It doesn’t mean that every vendor has to have this, but rather, it means exploring those who do and whether or not they find success. I like to think of niche as a way to…

I remember the very first time. The first time that I saw myself appearing in ads in Mexico with some pretty spiffy bell bottom jeans, striped no less. Then there was the entire ensemble, shirt and jeans. I was only seven. A star in the making. Just as I remember those fond memories (okay, I…

Here we are again. The Top 10 Learning Systems. Not for 2021 though, but for 2022. This year, a bit a difference than in years past, as it relates to a couple of areas. a. A mini-report – more of a detailed comparison with charts and data will be available for purchase – next week…

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.…

I started up again, a reader’s mailbag where you can submit questions to me. This new version (debut here), is based on questions I have received via social media, email direct, and my website. Before diving into the Q/A, for those who are interested but unaware, I know have a LinkedIn Group, called E-Learning Coach,…

I learn something every week. I’m sure many of you do as well. Just as many of you, okay more than enough, pick up various factoids. For example, did you know that Coca-Cola makes a special blend of their Coke just for McDonald’s? This is why, the taste is never the exact same as anywhere…

What a week. That’s the way I feel, with a return of an injury on my right hand, the challenges of writing as a result and some alternatives to presenting the information for this blog. Initially it was going to be 100% video-based, but after hearing from folks who loved the LL product review thru…
