learning systems

LXPs. They continue to muddle up the learning system space. Not by their choice mind you, rather by the total amount of confusion among potential buyers, prospects, businesses, etc. There is a lot of information to digest here on the whole LXP space, what they do, what they do not do. What they are and…

Grids. No not the one that went down for the state of Texas, that’s a whole different type of grid. I’m referring to every analyst/consulting site that uses “Grids” in whatever format – design wise to identify top systems is this or that category. And yes, I do the same thing (that’s changing for 2021…

Learn Amp is a learning system that is somewhat a challenge to describe, and this is by no means in a bad way. At one time it was an LXP, but it has (as many others in this segment have done) expanded out by adding LMS functionality, along with additional feature sets for folks wanting…

Everyone loves comparisons. I mean just today, I compared this stale muffin to a fresh muffin and debated ever so briefly, should I eat the stale muffin, because it is blueberry and I love blueberry. In the end, the dogs got it. They love blueberry too. Well over a month ago, on LinkedIn, I started…

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…

Stop the presses! There is a bat on the loose.  Ahh, remember the days when you could attend a movie without ever seeing one commercial ad as though you are watching television?  Which reminds me, I often wonder how many people are even watching live TV (and not recorded) when it is not a sporting…

It’s that time of the year.  Awards coming out from analyst firms, sites, and anywhere and everywhere.  It’s like Granny’s potluck.  Some are delicious and inviting. Others are inviting but ensure that you can make it to the facilities in the fastest amount of time possible.  And yes, others that make sense. Seems scrumptious, after…

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…
