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. It’s hard to believe that some sectors, such as baristas, whiskey entities, or tennis, have a learning system, often an LMS. Specific to their industry. The content is for those sectors. The…
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…
How to build mass through marketing your new learning system. Say goodbye to under...
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 Trends 2024

Acquistions – Someone had an idea
The other day, I was listening to an audiobook, and the author spoke about ideas. He noted that they are either good or bad, yet most folks only think about the good ones. I thought about this, as you can tell, and said to myself, okay, let’s write a post where the e-learning history and…
SCORM, AICC, xAPI – Which one do I need?
Every time I write about the course standards, whether on my blog or, lately, on LinkedIn, I receive a lot of responses, feedback, and folks wanting to know more. SCORM is not easy to learn. I worked at a large F50 company, where there was one person dedicated only to SCORM because of the heavy…
Home Built or Commercial for your Learning System
There are two types of learning systems. I’m not talking about an LMS, LXP, combo, TDP, or EXP (drop the name on that), learning platform, or “We are not an LMS, and anyway, they are a dying breed” (I’ve written that is far from true). What I am referring to, is commercial or in-house. In-house…
Reskilling vs Skilling, E-Learning Selection, and more
This quarterly addition focuses on the reskilling vs skilling question, educational institutions and e-learning, what to look for in a consultant when seeking learning technology and/or learning systems; and what I see as relevant when looking at a learning system.
