learning systems

If you have never experienced what I am about to cover, and you currently have a LMS, LXP, Learning Platform or any other type of learning system, heck even a talent management system with learning as a component, this little ditty will at some point come into play. For those of us, who have gone…

Do you remember your first love? Your first true love? If you met them in high school and are still together, good for you, but that first true love is no more for the rest of us. Hence, it is first and not still. What was the first meeting like? Seeing them? Catching a glance?…

I just read (1-31-24) that during the Pandemic, students (EdTech, K-12, Higher Education) went down something like 4% in learning. That’s not good. I blame it on two areas – that seem to reverberate that e-learning isn’t as effective (I disagree).  The first? Professors and teachers only do synchronous-based learning (which I believe isn’t as effective…

Dread. It’s not a typical word that comes up when you decide to purchase whatever type of learning system, whether it is an LMS, LXP, Learning Platform, Talent Development Platform, Employee Dev Platform (a tiny market, but it exists), or whatever a vendor spins their learning system as.

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…

A few days ago, Brad Lightcap, in an interview with CNBC, stated, among other things, that “one of the most overhyped parts of artificial intelligence is that in one fell swoop, it can deliver substantive business change.” (The Verge OpenAI COO thinks AI for business is overhyped, Dec 4, 2023) He added that companies are…

This isn’t going to be a pleasant post for some. I am going to get comments that are “How dare you,” “Who else can I ask,” “Just seeking input and what business is it of yours,” and other favorable, err, unfavorable statements. Some people are going to be irritated. There will be CEOs from some…

What kind of kid where you back in the day? One who handed out candy or one who went with toilet paper in hand, a few eggs and a list of neighbors who should experience this type of joy? As an adult, are you someone who hands out candy? Wearing a costume? Or the person…
