Learning Technology and Learning Systems: Trust and Profitability
Learning Technology: LMS, LXP, LMS/LXP, Skills Platform, Learning Platform, Authoring Tools, Third-Party Content Providers, EdTech (K-12, Higher Education). E-Learning tools. EDP, and the list continues. Trust.

Learning Technology Turkey Awards 2024
Well, hello there. The Turkey Awards are an annual tradition on my blog. For those of you who haven’t had the opportunity to read last year’s awards, click now. What makes the awards special is that they are completely independent and straightforward, from my honest perspective. Some vendors have blackballed me for listing them as…
Understanding MCP: The Universal Remote for AI
I’ve written in the past about MCP (Model Context Protocol) for learning and training (via learning systems), albeit a link to a highly confusing and yet the best version of explanation on the net. MCP, which I will use going forward, is best in explanation to something everyone else can relate to. Let’s say back…
Gen AI: Latest Trends and Impacts on Training and Learning
The data shows that employees – perhaps your own employees are really concerned about AI replacing them.

The problem though is that the person has never played that position before. What happens then? Well, the player agrees to…
LMS, LXP Functionality U Will Need in 2024

Best in Class Awards 2024 – Learning Systems, Content, Learning Technology
There are people who believe this is the best time of the year. The holidays are just around the corner. Vacation – the true part of the workplace holiday spirit – is just around the corner. Sure the days of potluck are gone (for most folks), after all, hard to have potluck when 10 people…
What should we do?
Where to go. That’s where I was this morning, actually the day before. Normally, I have an idea of what to write. Other times, an epiphany that zings into my brain on the day of the post. Then there are “this is what I will write” only to change my mind at the last second.…
