It’s Magic – Q&A Reader Edition
As a kid, like many I surmise, purchased a magic kit tested it out, then forced, err suggested that family members attend to see the show. At my home, my dad paid for him and the dog to attend. Front row seats. Mom was there too. I can’t recall if my siblings were forced, err…
Learning Systems Awards 2024 – Factors
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…

The data shows that employees – perhaps your own employees are really concerned about AI replacing them. This isn’t from one source, or just one well-known entity espousing their study results, rather it is appearing in multiple studies, and not with just a few employees – but looking at it globally, with thousands of employees…
Uncovering True Innovation in LMS, LXP, and Learning Platforms
Innovate? An LMS? LXP? Learning Platform? Employee Dev Platform? Are you saying that any of these platform types are innovative? Wait, LMS? Oh, that is so traditional; there isn’t any innovation there. LXP? That’s where innovation comes in (hint- it doesn’t). A Learning Platform driven by brain-centric modalities?

The LMS and LXP Draft 2024
Learning Systems. Would you select an LMS? What about an LXP? Oh, maybe a combo of the two?

Enhancing Online Learning Adoption Through Creative Marketing Tactics
I’ll be honest. Writing with a bruised bone in your wrist on your writing hand is about as fun as getting pennies in your Halloween bag as a kid. It’s totally not. But today, it isn’t about me – thankfully, rather, it is what I hear so many times, and honestly, for many of you,…
Learning System Failures – Recognize and Fix
Chris Taylor. Chris plays for the Los Angeles Dodgers, my favorite baseball team (MLB). You might have someone similar who plays for your favorite soccer team (there are sites, that mention the worst), or cricket, or hockey or football, or tidily winks. Chris was once a good player. That was about two years ago. Nowadays…
LMS Mid-Year Rankings 2024
The perfect learning management system. The best LMS for Enterprise. Top LMS for mid-market. Elite LMS for associations, non-profits, government, and even baristas.

LXP – Don’t believe the Hype
For those Gen Xers who remember the days of MTV, it sure had a lot of Hype. How many saw the debut song by the Buggles – on the first day of MTV launch (8-1-81)? Where were you on that fantastic day? I was babysitting – and saw it on that first day. I was…
