Did you know? Learning Systems Vol 3

Did you know? Learning Systems Vol 3

LMS aka Learning Management System. LXP – Learning Experience Platform. Learning Platform. Cohort-based learning platform. Employee Experience Platform (bad name for it). Employee Development Platform. There is a lot there for types of systems as I have noted before. I can’t forget the joke of micro-learning platforms, ignoring that micro-learning has been around since 2000,…

Q&A from Vendors – Learning Systems Edition

Q&A from Vendors – Learning Systems Edition

It is kind of weird. So many sites that list Q&A’s – mine included, look at it from the reader’s standpoint – what I refer to as consumers, even though they may have an audience consisting of PEs (Private Equity), outside their industry (C-Level and similar), vendors in the specific industry (e-learning) and sub-segments OR…
The Latest – Learning System RFI Template

The Latest – Learning System RFI Template

Let’s face it – RFI/RFP documents sent over to learning system vendors are massive tomes that confuse, challenge and even baffle some vendors. They can be 25 pages. 50 pages, even 100 pages or more. They go way beyond what is needed OR not enough needed. Some companies have every department give their two cents…
The Use Case for a Learning System

The Use Case for a Learning System

The Use Case. Probably the least fun experience you will ever have when looking at or considering any type of learning system (LMS, LXP, EXP, Learning Platform, Craig’s Javalinas R US, etc.). The basics of any use case, is, to define at least at the very early stages, whether or not you qualify, for the…
The LMS – Let’s Set The Record Straight

The LMS – Let’s Set The Record Straight

Deep thinking question. Can you think or name one SaaS or non-SaaS solution where the market for that solution overwhelmingly believes it is only Legacy and thus an antiquated offering best found in the diggings of Troy; or outdated, non-useful because it is called “X” and thus the entire industry of said “X” is therefore…
Why can’t you say YES, when you want to buy a learning system?

Why can’t you say YES, when you want to buy a learning system?

Remember Lotus 1-2-3? For those of us, who experienced the late 80s when Floppy Discs ruled, and then used Lotus in the 90’s, the memory of such a solution, is easily forgotten (although I did take an online course using only Lotus Notes, in 1998). I mention Lotus Notes because I went on LinkedIn Learning…
The Focus – Reskill, not upskill

The Focus – Reskill, not upskill

I suspect it is similar to other sports around the world. Whereas one player is selected/signed for one position on the team, then the team decides they want them to be at another position. The problem though is that the person has never played that position before. What happens then? Well, the player agrees to…

In the coming weeks, you will learn the Gen-AI terminology you need to know, with definitions (also available as a download in the learning library), and the latest learning technology/systems worth a few eyeballs. Plus, “Product Spotlight” covers one learning system that I dive into with lots of gusto – basically, it is a re-branded…
Refresh Needed – Learning Systems, are you listening?

Refresh Needed – Learning Systems, are you listening?

If you have seen a learning system, any system, at a trade show, such as LTUK, or ATD (coming up), or on the web, or in your dreams, you start to notice a retread. I saw it, and continue to see it. Not only is this retread around UI/UX, but the pitches, spin, approaches, reasons…
